No Guns at the Polls
Every voter must be able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.
Why is this important?
It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America.
The voting booth should be a sanctuary of democracy. But every election year, we see reports of people openly carrying weapons as voters go to the polls – turning what should be a safe and welcoming experience into one of intimidation and fear.
That's why Common Cause is taking bold action to protect voters. Just this year, we helped pass laws restricting guns at polls in New Mexico and Massachusetts – and with your action, we can bring this solution to every state in the nation.
Our democracy works best when every voter feels safe and empowered. Voting is meant to be an act of hope—NOT fear—and with your help, we can make that a reality nationwide.
If you agree, add your name to our petition today telling Congress: Every voter must be able to cast a ballot without fear or intimidation. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.
