Campaign Status: Victory!
The Policy
Pass a second package of reform bills centered on state voting rights, campaign finance, and implementation of Democracy for the People Act passed in 2023
Background
Additionally, we worked alongside We Choose Us MN to incorporate more improvements in this year’s omnibus elections bill (HF 4772) which includes a State Voting Rights Act and an end to the practice of prison gerrymandering, now requiring voters experiencing incarceration to be counted at their last home address for the purposes of redistricting.
