The right to vote has been one of the most important and revered rights within the United States Constitution. The ability to exercise this right has sometimes been contentious and hard-fought along gender and racial lines. The issues of election laws, voting rights, voter registration and suppression, and reform, have been at the forefront of discussions, debates, and protests.

Charity Navigator encourages citizens to become informed about how to register and their registration eligibility, have clarity about voting procedures, and utilize information provided by their state's board of elections.
