Voting Rights

Voting is the foundation of our democracy, and the ACLU of Nevada is working to protect that right. The fight for voting rights remains as critical as ever, and politicians and election deniers across the country continue to engage in voter suppression.

Voting is the cornerstone of our democracy—it’s our voice and our power. Nevada has worked to make voting more accessible and secure, but attacks on democracy at both the national and local levels continue to threaten confidence in our elections. Protecting the ballot means protecting the voice of every Nevadan.

ACLU of Nevada works in the courtrooms, at the legislature, and in communities to ensure that every eligible voter can make their voice heard. We defend fair elections, protect access to the ballot, and fight back against any effort that undermines trust in our democracy.
