ISSUES
Election
Protection
Election protection volunteers serve a critical role to strengthen and safeguard our freedom to vote and inspire faith in our elections. SOLVE is home to some of the largest voter protection and assistance efforts in the country.
Fair Districts
The voting rights of people who are currently incarcerated in the United States — as well as those living in our communities but still under probation or parole — are severely limited. Historically and today, several of the states with the most severe restrictions on the vote are in the South.
Voter Access
Despite the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), too many U.S. Americans are not registered to vote. Advocacy is necessary on every level of governance and election administration to make sure voters have access to the ballot box.
Voting Rights Restoration
The voting rights of people who are currently incarcerated in the United States — as well as those living in our communities but still under probation or parole — are severely limited. Historically and today, several of the states with the most severe restrictions on the vote are in the South.
