Every individual deserves the right to "Vote Without Hindrance or Interference."
No person should ever experience voter disenfranchisement or election fraud in any form. And the first step to stopping it is to shine a light on it. So please, consider reporting here if you are a NY voter, and Your Registration or Party Affiliation Changed Against Your Wishes. The "NY Voter Suppression/Disenfranchisement" thread is over here.
Also, we need to quantify the problem so that no government official can ever again ignore the disenfranchisement of citizens exercising their right to vote. Please consider taking our survey at CAVDEF.org/Survey and learning more about us at our website CAVDEF.org
At CAVDEF we believe in: •Focus: CAVDEF is a nonpartisan coalition serving as an intermediary between institutions who should help and voters who may not know what to do. By joining disenfranchised voters into a single voice that is demanding fixes to our broken electoral process, the government will no longer be able to ignore them. •Empowerment: Voters who have had their constitutional right taken away deserve a means to have their voice heard and to know how to use it for productive change for our election process. •Control: Voters deserve to be in control of their information. Every voter should be able to fill out our survey to the degree they feel comfortable with. Even collecting data (each and every voice of a disenfranchised voter) and organizing it anonymously will be a powerful tool for change. •Respect: These issues affect everybody, and we must all join together to fix the problems facing disenfranchised voters. It doesn't matter which candidate or party a voter supports. Every voter deserves the right to cast their ballot (no provisionals, thank you very much!) without hindrance or interference and for the government - local, state, and federal - to respect their constitutional right.

Here is an example out of AZ
We recommend that you only share as much as you are personally comfortable with. With that in mind, the more information we have, the better off we are for getting a handle on how widespread it is, and what the underlying causes are.
And don't forget to find your government officials here, here, and here who can help. Be sure to speak up on social media about your concerns! Call, email, fill out online forms, do everything you need to do to get your right to vote back!
