In the last several election cycles, we\u2019ve seen women continue to show up to make sure their voices are heard. I think there are several issues driving women to the polls. There\u2019s a large conversation around reproductive rights and the choices that we\u2019re able to make about our bodies \u2014 I think that\u2019s a motivating factor for many women and those who can become pregnant. I think we&#8217;ve also seen some polls showing how deeply people care about our democracy. And\u00a0not just in terms of voting rights and money in politics \u2014 those are sometimes intangible policy issues \u2014\u00a0but people care about making sure our democracy is strong and that we&#8217;re able to continue the tradition of democracy in this country. We\u2019ve seen this through support for various pieces of legislation \u2014 such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lwv.org\/take-action\/urge-your-members-congress-support-john-r-lewis-voting-rights-advancement-act?utm_source=VoteRiders&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=3.24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which would tackle voter discrimination by restoring fundamental components of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voting Rights Act<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 and other bills in Congress as well as across the country in state legislatures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What kinds of restrictions are blocking women from voting in 2024?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lwv.org\/voting-rights\/fighting-voter-suppression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">restrictions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> blocking women from going out to vote are similar to some of the restrictions we see impacting other voters who have been historically marginalized, like LGBTQIA+ people or communities of color \u2014 such as <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/staterules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">strict voter ID law<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s, changing the times and locations where people can vote, or rolling back early voting. These are restrictions that affect everyone&#8217;s right to participate \u2014 that&#8217;s one of the reasons why League affiliates work so hard to ensure that people have the information they need to take with them when they go to vote.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Voter ID laws pose a unique challenge to people who change their name because many states require that the name on their ID match the name on their voter registration.

I had to go through the process of updating my name on my Social Security card, my driver&#8217;s license, and my voter registration card. There are financial barriers to doing all of that, and not everyone can take time off from work to get that done at the DMV or the Social Security Office, which is usually only open from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays. So that ends up disenfranchising a lot of people. Of course, it also happens on the flip side. If you get divorced or remarried, it can also cost a lot of time and money. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/pride\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trans women face unique challenges as well<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that when women vote, we bring our whole household out to vote, so the League wants to make sure we&#8217;re working with organizations like VoteRiders to break down those barriers and ensure that women have everything they need at the polls \u2014 whether that\u2019s a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/voterid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voter ID card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the tools to make sure their name is updated, or the correct underlying documentation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How are the League of Women Voters and VoteRiders working together to make voting more accessible for women and all citizens nationwide?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re working with VoteRiders to break down the barriers people face when they try to vote.
