Think you have the right to vote?

Think again. A wave of recent voting laws passed by states are creating barriers to the ballot. Such measures include requiring government-issued photo IDs, reducing early and absentee voting periods, limiting third-party voter registration drives, and restricting the voting rights of citizens with felony convictions. Check out the infographic below for more details on the troubling trend of voter suppression that is sweeping our nation.

Here at The Leadership Conference, we  are working to prevent the enactment of additional laws restricting voting rights and will be mounting efforts to ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast a ballot on Election Day.

Be sure to check your state’s voter requirements, get registered before it’s too late, and vote!
