Voting Rights

Polling both sign

Voting is the cornerstone of democracy. Maine has a long history of protecting voting rights for all qualified people, and the ACLU of Maine works to preserve and strengthen those protections. We support efforts to make it easier for more qualified people to vote, and oppose measures that would prevent Mainers from participating fully and fairly in our elections.
