Electoral measures, a necessary tool to give voice to all communities

ballot measures
Ballot measures have proven to be a powerful vehicle for voters to move forward on issues they care about, with 75 bills introduced in state legislatures in 2023 to change rules and make the voting process more difficult.

Ballot measures have proven to be a powerful means for voters to make decisions about improvements in health care, housing, voting rights, abortion rights, wages, and many other areas, yet there are opponents of these measures who seek to downplay their importance and value.

For many, these measures may be favorable, but they can also harm some sectors that do not benefit, so they seek to make the electoral measures lose strength and inter-community, while it is observed that there are efforts to restrict access to electoral measures, while increasing progress in favor of equity at the polls.
