About Us: 

At All Voting is Local, our north star is a democracy that brings people in, instead of one built on the notion that people should be kept out—bold by design because we aim to transform the systems that govern our democracy to include everyone. This commitment to building an inclusive, accessible, and equitable democracy drives both our long-term vision and our day-to-day work.

All Voting is Local works year-round with our partners to prevent partisan interference in our elections, advance fair and inclusive rules on voter registration, and remove barriers that make it more difficult for people to vote – particularly for Black, Brown, Native American, and other historically marginalized communities. As a multi-state organization with a national presence and resources, we build connections between state and national advocacy groups so that local voices and perspectives inform the national conversation around voter access. 

All Voting is Local’s (c)4 affiliate, All Voting is Local Action (AVL Action), advocates for policies and legislative priorities that expand voter access and prevent partisan interference in our elections.

All Voting is Local and AVL Action are on the ground in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. During the 2024 cycle, All Voting programs expanded access for over 13 million voters.
