What is Election Protection?
The national, nonpartisan Election Protection coalition works year-round to ensure that all voters have an equal opportunity to vote and have that vote count. Made up of more than 200 local, state and national partners, Election Protection uses a wide range of tools and activities to protect, advance, and defend the right to vote.
Election Messaging
- Vote-by-mail: More people should have the option to vote by mail. Voting by mail is tried and tested and is a safe process. Mail ballots have checks and balances built into the process to ensure security and accuracy. Mail ballots are unique to the individual voter, with specific barcodes.
- Voting in-person: In addition to expanding vote-by-mail and early voting, voters in all 50 states have the option and right to vote in-person. Voters should be able to vote the way they feel most comfortable and safe: by mail or in person.
- Early voting: Voters should have more options to make their voice heard. Early voting helps ensure more people can securely participate in the political process and make their voice heard, while also cutting down on long lines and too many voters in one polling place at one time.
- Responding to claims of voter fraud: Re-frame the conversation; do not engage directly with claims/terminology of voter fraud. Instead, focus on how our elections are secure and the integrity of our elections is strong.
- Felon disenfranchisement: Millions of Americans are excluded from our democratic process on the basis of criminal disenfranchisement laws. These laws strip voting rights from people with past criminal convictions. Those who have served their time deserve the right to vote.
