Helping States Protect the Integrity of the Ballot Process
The initiative process has the potential to engage citizens in the democratic process. However, many states are susceptible to fraud. The gains that states make every day on issues ranging from taxes to education to living wages shouldn’t be stolen by special interests that break the rules to do it.
To protect states from facing these risks, Ballot Initiative Strategy Center works closely with state lawmakers and their staff ensure the integrity of each states’ initiative processes.
Each year, BISC releases its report card that identifies how states fare in protecting their ballot initiative processes. Throughout the year, we connect with lawmakers and their staff to pinpoint the areas that are vital to the success of their state’s initiative process.
American voters should be able to trust that the measures on their ballots didn’t get there through fraud and forgery. They look to their state’s lawmakers to protect progress on the issues that matter most to them.
Luckily, some of the most critical reforms can be implemented at no or little cost. To learn more about how your state can protect itself against ballot fraud or to identify which reform legislation you can introduce to have the most impact, contact us today.
Voters need to know that their state leaders are protecting the integrity of the electoral process. By joining together we can stop ballot fraud before it happens.
