Voter Advocacy
Know Your Voting Rights
The League advocates the following measures to improve voter access and remove obstacles to the ballot:
-
automatic voter registration
-
expanded Vote-by-Mail and ballot boxes
-
voting rights for people with criminal convictions - enacted
-
ballot curating for signatures, etc. issues - partially enacted
The nonpartisan Fair Districs NJ coalition advocates for an impartial redistricting policy in New Jersey. Currently, politicians draw district lines designed to benefit those in office (gerrymandering). Fair Districts recommends that districts be redrawn by an impartial, independent citizens commission.
