Skip to content Fair Elections Center is a national, nonpartisan voting rights and election reform 501(c)(3) organization based in Washington, D.C.
We are a non-partisan organization dedicated to safeguarding the future of our democracy through innovative efforts focused on voting rights and civic engagement.
We envision a civic ecosystem where all people can easily and freely participate in our democracy and where this participation is actively supported and valued by our local communities, institutions and government.
Our mission is to use litigation and advocacy to remove barriers to registration and voting, particularly those disenfranchising underrepresented and marginalized communities, and to improve election administration.

2024 was a year to remember! FEC hosted statewide student voting summits across 13 states, bringing together hundreds of students and campus leaders across the country. 🙌🏼 Attendees explored everything from local election laws to disability rights and voting, how to navigate tough election conversations, and using effective tools for student outreach. Our incredible guest speakers included a diverse group of voting rights experts who shared their expertise and insights to prep us for Election Day and beyond.
We’re so inspired by the energy and commitment from this year and can’t wait to see even more of you at next year’s summits! Let’s continue building stronger, more informed, and engaged campus communities together. 💪 🗳️ #StudentVoting #CampusLeaders #DemocracyInAction

Fair Elections Center President and CEO Robert Brandon has released the following statement:
A week ago, many Americans woke up to the results of the 2024 elections. Many of us participated in the most important right we have in our democracy. But millions of Americans did not participate in the election process. For some it was by choice, for others it was due to barriers to participation.
Fair Elections Center focuses every year to support every vote, because we know that when more voters participate in the process, the results are a more equitable representation of voices and that is better for our country.
We are proud of the hard work our staff, hundreds of student fellows, campus administrators and our partners did for the past year to support and protect voters in every part of the country.
As we enter our 20th year, our organization will focus on pushing back against efforts to undermine access to the ballot with advocacy, education and litigation. We will double down on our efforts to promote pro-voter policies and use the courts to protect voters. And we will continue to support the crucial work of our election officials who continue to show a great commitment to ensuring that our elections are fair and secure.
We have a lot of work ahead, but there is no better time to invest in our country’s democracy.
Our fight for a more perfect union neither begins nor ends in one election. Today, we’re going to rest and regroup but tomorrow we will continue the fight for the future we hope becomes the present.
HAPPENING NOW!
The Virginia House of Delegates Committee on Privileges and Elections will hear testimony on a constitutional amendment to restore the voting rights of Virginians with felony convictions after their sentence has been served — and decide if the amendment will be carried over to the 2025 legislative session.

Every vote counts, so we must count every vote. As polls are closing and we`re starting to see election results come in we wanted to take a moment to remind everyone of the systems that are in place for ballots to be processed and votes to be counted safely and securely.
