Overview

The American system of representative democracy relies on an engaged citizenry and accurate representation, yet voter turnout is lower than it should be. Mishaps, confusion and partisan administration raise questions about fairness. In many states, districts are drawn by elected officials to benefit themselves or their party. That’s why WashPIRG is fighting for clear and consistent rules to ensure fairness. We’re registering tens of thousands of new voters here in Washington. And we’re supporting measures that will ensure a fairer way to draw political districts.
