Friend –

Every election, thousands of Pennsylvanian voices are silenced – not because they didn't vote or couldn't vote, but because of small, fixable mistakes on their mail ballots.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Next week, we're releasing a new report in partnership with Common Cause PA on notice-and-cure policies – the practices that give voters a chance to fix ballot errors so their votes count. Join us for an early preview webinar, where we'll break down how these policies work and what counties can do to protect every voter's right to have their voice heard in our democracy.

By joining us, you will learn the best practices that your county can employ so that you can advocate for pro-voter policies.

We'll dig into:

• What's actually causing ballots to be rejected across PA.
• Recent voting rights court rulings, litigation, and advocacy efforts.
• How notice-and-cure policies protect voters, and where counties are falling short.
• What organizers, volunteers, and everyday voters should know heading into future elections.

Speakers: Rebecca Cusumano-Seidel (she/her), ACLU-PA Advocacy & Policy Strategist; Jill Greene (she/her), Common Cause PA Program Manager

As long-time leaders in voting rights and election reform, the ACLU of Pennsylvania and Common Cause PA are urging counties to use every tool at their disposal to prevent unnecessary disenfranchisement – especially when mistakes are easy to fix. Voters deserve notice about the status of their mail ballots and accessible options to ensure that when they cast a vote, it is always counted.

Hope to see you there! This is one of those behind-the-scenes issues that makes a huge difference for voters. Please note: This link will take you to a third-party website, commoncause-org.zoom.us.

Sincerely,

ACLU of Pennsylvania
