All Voting is Local Action

All Voting is Local Action Arizona advocates to protect the right to vote for all Arizona voters, fighting for pro-voter legislation and against restrictive voter suppression laws that threaten free, fair, and accessible elections. Some of the assaults on voting rights AVL Action AZ faces in the state include attacks on early voting, pushes for hand counts, and bans on voter centers, which would return the state back to precinct-only voting, directly impacting voters who need the flexibility to be able to vote at any polling place in their county. AVL Action AZ also works to expand access to the ballot for Native American voters and voters whose primary language is not English.

In 2025, AVL Action Arizona successfully advocated against several harmful bills that would have diminished Arizonans’ access to the ballot box had they been signed into law. 

As part of these efforts, AVL Action AZ led a coalition letter to Gov. Hobbs explaining how SB1001 would have disenfranchised voters who depend on early voting, including a disproportionate impact on rural and Tribal voters. As a convener of voting rights leaders, partners, and activists, AVL Action AZ remains a leading voice in voting rights advocacy in the Grand Canyon State. In addition to its legislative work, AVL Action AZ continues to monitor and respond to increasing threats to the state’s democratic systems from anti-voting conspiracy theorists. 

All Voting is Local Action Florida works to prevent anti-voter legislation and policies from being enacted while supporting measures and policies that improve access to the ballot box for all. AVL Action FL fights to protect vote-by-mail, promote increased language access, and prevent voter intimidation tactics, including the deployment of election police units.

During the 2025 legislative session, AVL Action FL worked alongside partners to defeat House Bill 1381, a state copycat bill of the SAVE Act. The restrictive legislation would have imposed stricter restrictions on voter accessibility, including a requirement to provide documentary proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate, to register to vote, and the elimination of forms of identification commonly used by students and seniors to vote in person.  

AVL Action FL also fought to mitigate the impact of House Bill 1205, which imposed overly restrictive conditions on the citizen-led amendment process. Now, Floridians have only 10 days to turn in petitions, driving up the costs, which prevents state residents from being able to pass policies that improve our lives and strengthen our communities ourselves. Through strategic lobbying, AVL Action FL and coalition partners successfully helped to remove a provision that would have required campaigns to post a $1 million bond before collecting any petitions. They also helped expand the number of petitions volunteers can legally collect from just two to 25, making grassroots signature collection more feasible. Additionally, among other preventative measures taken to ease the damage of this new law to voters, AVL Action FL helped lower the petition validation threshold that triggers an investigation by the Office of Election Crimes and Security from an unworkable 90 percent to 75 percent.

All Voting Action Georgia works alongside state and local partners to make voting more accessible, lead the fight against anti-voter extremists, and protect voters from thousands of baseless voter challenges.

During the 2025 legislative session, AVL Action GA successfully pushed for the Georgia House Governmental Affairs Committee to create an elections study committee. This committee will meet six times throughout the year, allowing legislators to conduct a thorough examination of Georgia elections. They will hear from election experts on important issues, including list maintenance and voter challenges, election funding, our voting infrastructure, and other pressing concerns. As conspiracy theorists and election deniers try to seize power over our elections throughout the state, this is a meaningful victory to ensure that those making our election laws hear from actual experts defending Georgians’ right to vote. 

In May 2025, AVL Action GA played a pivotal role in the rejection of two prominent election deniers being appointed to the Fulton County election board, the state’s most populous county. One of the rejected appointees, Julie Adams, who served on the board in 2024, refused to certify Fulton County primary election results that year. The other rejected appointee, Jason Frazier, is a well-known anti-voter extremist who has baselessly challenged the eligibility of more than 9,000 Georgia voters and has aided in the development of EagleAI, a voter information database backed by conspiracy theorists. AVL Action GA repeatedly testified against his nomination, often being one of the only voices in the room speaking in opposition, and sent memos outlining his history of unfounded voter challenges to the board of commissioners. Ultimately, his nomination failed, but efforts to reverse this are underway.

Building on the successful passage of a major pro-voter constitutional amendment in 2022, All Voting is Local Action Michigan is continuing to expand voting rights and access to the ballot, ensuring the state’s elections are run freely and fairly. AVL Action MI’s advocacy was honored by the Michigan League of Conservation Voters with the 2024 “Advocate of the Year” award for its leadership on Proposal 2 and its efforts to advance voting rights in the state. 

However, since the passage of Proposal 2, AVL Action MI has been working to counteract anti-voter efforts and initiatives, including defeating HJR B, a 2025 bill that would have required documentary proof of citizenship to vote. The defeat of HJR B was not the end of efforts to implement documentary proof of citizenship, and Michigan voters will likely be asked to vote on whether the state should adopt these harmful, anti-voter measures in 2026. In response, AVL Action MI is a key partner in Decline to Sign efforts in the state. 

All Voting is Local Action Nevada advocates for pro-voter and legislative priorities and policies that broaden voter access across the state. This includes increasing language accessibility by providing materials and resources to voters whose primary language is not English, additional access for Native American voters, and expanding vote-by-mail throughout the state. Nevada has a proud history of expanding equitable access to the ballot. AVL Action NV prioritizes pushing back against attempts to institute restrictive laws and policies at the statewide and county levels and educating voters and activists by hosting lobby days.

In 2024, AVL Action NV, along with its partners at ACLU Nevada, drove a public pressure campaign to urge County Clerk Mark Kampf to reject hand-counting proposals that would create post-election chaos and sow doubt in the election results. In a massive win for the state, Kampf later provided public comment against hand-counting requirements in front of the Washoe County Board of Commissioners. 

During the 2025 legislative session, AVL Action NV continued to build upon its advocacy for improved language access and protections for tribal voters by advocating for and successfully securing Governor Lombardo’s signature on AB367, a law that funds an interpretation hotline and requires translations for materials provided by the SOS, and SB421, a law that ensures poll workers in Tribal nations are recruited by the county clerk. In a state as diverse as Nevada, these laws are an incredible step forward in increasing accessibility to the ballot.  

Working closely with a coalition of partner organizations and election officials, All Voting is Local Action Ohio works to expand voting access statewide, focusing on vote-by-mail, ballot drop boxes, voter registration practices, and more. AVL Action Ohio also advocates and works to oppose anti-voter policies, including recent attempts to pass proof of citizenship requirements.

During the 2025 legislative session, AVL Action Ohio took a strong stance in opposition to SB153, a SAVE Act copycat bill, and activated partners to submit 78 testimonies against the harmful legislation. The bill, which would have required Ohioans to prove their citizenship after registering to vote, had the potential to negatively impact nearly three-quarters of a million voters in the state – and potentially more, given that 2.6 million women in Ohio do not have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name. Additionally, working with over thirty advocates, AVL Action Ohio wrote and helped facilitate the placement of two op-eds and several letters to the editors opposing the SAVE Act across Ohio’s media outlets. As of summer 2025, this tremendous community opposition successfully stalled the passage of the bill and the fight will continue this fall to ensure this and similar efforts are denied.

All Voting is Local Action Pennsylvania works alongside partners to ensure state legislators and local elections officials do their part in improving the commonwealth’s voting process. Through collaboration with public officials, AVL Action PA has advocated for important measures, including increased statewide funding for elections and a clear, standardized path that allows incarcerated voters to access the ballot.

In the 2025 state legislative session, a voter ID bill (House Bill 771) threatened to put up unnecessary and strict ID requirements for those registering to vote. Efforts from AVL Action PA and partners were successful in ensuring the bill would not pass. Our team signed onto a letter alongside 22 other advocacy groups in the state, urging Pennsylvania House of Representatives members to oppose the bill. The state’s strong advocacy coalition worked to have several prominent groups come out publicly against the bill, resulting in a loss of support among lawmakers in the Pennsylvania legislature and, ultimately, its inability to pass.

All Voting Action Wisconsin advocates for pro-voter polices and legislation that increase access to the ballot. AVL Action Wisconsin prioritizes holding accountable those who have sought to undermine safe and secure elections. AVL Action Wisconsin has also worked to introduce and advocate for pro-voter legislation that would improve election processes throughout the Badger State. 

AVL Action Wisconsin delivered public testimony against Senate Bill 95, which would have created a modern-day poll tax for people with a felony conviction in the state by proposing a requirement for returning citizens to pay restitution fines and fees to have their right to vote restored. Our team and fellow voting rights groups sent a letter to Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to encourage him to veto the bill and had several phone calls with his staff to talk about the damage the bill would do. All Voting Action Wisconsin also provided public testimony against the bill as soon as it was announced. Thanks in part to these advocacy efforts, Gov. Evers vetoed the bill.  

Our team has fought to hold fake electors in Wisconsin accountable for their actions after the 2020 election, in which they submitted illegitimate certificates of ascertainment in favor of Donald Trump as part of an effort to overturn Joe Biden’s victory. Over the years, we have consistently given public testimony and held rallies calling for the removal of one of the state’s more prominent fake electors, Bob Spindell, from the Wisconsin Election Commission due to his participation in the scheme. In 2024, Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul charged three people for their involvement in the fake elector scheme, a step toward bringing justice upon those who tried to subvert our elections and rob voters of their voices.
