Protecting Democracy

The Commonwealth Voter Campaign, paid for by the American Civil Liberties Union, is working to make sure Kentuckians have the accurate information they need to cast their ballots with confidence and make their voices heard. We’re mobilizing voters, volunteers, and communities across Kentucky to participate, encourage others to vote, and vote like their rights depend on it. Because the decisions made at the ballot box shape our rights, our communities, and the future of our democracy.
