Voting Rights Lab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Voting Rights Lab is a nonpartisan[1] 501(c)(3) nonprofit that tracks election legislation[2][3] and supports expanding access to voting.[4]

The organization monitors laws such as the passing of protections for election workers[5] and rules whose stated intent is to prevent noncitizen voting.[3] The group also groups laws into categories such as 'expand voting rights' and 'restrict voting rights'.[4] The organization put together a summary of election rule changes in the seven swing states ahead of the 2024 presidential election.[2] They found that Michigan and Nevada expanded access to voting, Arizona and Pennsylvania were mixed and Georgia, North Carolina and Wisconsin restricted voting access.[2]
