Strengthening Democracy
Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy and the fundamental right upon which all our civil liberties rest. We work to protect and expand Wisconsinitesʼ freedom to vote.

What's At Stake
There’s no way around it – voting rights are under attack from all angles — including gerrymandered voting districts diluting power, anti-voter bills, and billionaires trying to buy Wisconsinites' votes.
Beyond voting rights, we condemn the anti-democratic targeting of elected officials from judges to the governor, unconstitutional executive overreach, and tyrannical attacks on the separation of powers.
Our Work
- Recent election cycles have had record turnout, and it's amazing to see voters empowered to use their voice.
- When Elon Musk tried to buy our spring 2025 election, Wisconsin voters said NO!
- Our Election Protection team resolved over a hundred tickets this spring as voters utilized our hotline for issues at the polls.
- In the fight for fair maps, extreme partisan gerrymandering is finally being challenged after a decade of voter suppression.
