voter bill of rights
Voter bills of rights are state-specific collections of voting rights and protections. While they vary significantly by state, they often include basic information about elections, including voter eligibility, voter privacy, voter rights to assistance, and voter rights to report illegal activity at the polls.
To see examples of current state voter bills of rights see:
- California Voter Bill of Rights
- Texas Voter Bill of Rights
- New York State Voter’s Bill of Rights and the New York Voting Rights Act
If you cannot find a voter bill of rights for a particular state online, consult with that secretary of state’s office.
