Politicians are busy sowing confusion, fear, and doubt in our elections — you have the power to stop them and safeguard our democracy.
The ACLU is fighting to protect the right to vote for every eligible American — and we need your help to do it and spread the word.
The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and one of the most valuable ways we can hold our leaders accountable and uphold the rule of law.
Make a Plan to Vote
Ahead of casting your ballot, check your registration, find your polling place, know what to bring, and know your rights.
Know Your Rights at the Polls
Every U.S. citizen has the constitutionally protected right to vote. If you’re worried about intimidation, need disability-related accommodations or language assistance at the polls, and want to ensure your ballot is counted, equip yourself with the truth about your rights and voting.
