Tell Congress: Guns do NOT belong at polling places.

The voting booth should be a sanctuary of democracy. But every election year, we see reports of extremists openly carrying weapons as voters go to the polls – turning what should be a safe and welcoming experience into one of intimidation and fear.

Armed individuals at polling places send a clear, chilling message of intimidation. Not just for voters, but for the dedicated public servants who work at the polls.

With political tensions running high, it's more important than ever to ensure our polling places remain free from suppression and fear. No matter what you think about gun safety laws, banning guns at the polls is a commonsense step that every American who loves democracy should be able to agree on right now.

That's why Common Cause is taking bold action to protect voters. Just this year, we helped pass a law restricting guns at polling places in New Mexico – 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.

Add your name to tell Congress: We must be able to vote without fear. Guns do NOT belong at polling places.
