Fair Elections Center
in the News

This executive order to reshape our electoral system is rooted in falsehoods and guided by a willful ignorance of how our elections work.

Today, Fair Elections Center’s Campus Vote Project and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education announced that 272 campuses in 39 states and the District of Columbia were designated as “Voter Friendly Campuses.” The initiative recognizes institutions that have planned and implemented nonpartisan practices that encourage their students to register and vote.

In a win for Alabama voters, Secretary Wes Allen has abandoned last year’s illegal voter purge program that threatened to deny qualified American citizens their freedom to vote.

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit unanimously upheld a district court ruling striking down Arizona’s “reason to believe” voter registration law for violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Separately, a majority found the provision also violated the National Voter Registration Act. This Arizona law, which will remain blocked, would have required county recorders to subject registered voters to an unwarranted, discriminatory citizenship check whenever they had a “reason to believe” the voter is not a U.S. citizen.

Fair Elections Center, a national nonpartisan voting rights organization, announced a leadership transition coinciding with its 20th year.
