Campaign Legal Center

Campaign Legal Center is recommitting to the campaign for democracy we've been leading for nearly a quarter century. Not just for the next year or the next election, but for the long term. That's our commitment. That's our calling. That's our campaign for America.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services tried to illegally ban nonpartisan groups from registering new U.S. citizens to vote at naturalization ceremonies held at agency offices. We sued and got that rule permanently banned. Now, the @lwv.org can continue this important work.

When deep-pocketed industries like AI pour millions into our elections, they can gain outsized influence over the policy decisions that affect all of us. Here's how we can solve that problem: campaignlegal.org/sites/defaul...

The federal government used to uphold voting rights protections. Now, the federal government is actively trying to make it harder for citizens to vote and laying the groundwork to undermine the midterms, says Anna Baldwin. Voters are pushing back. More on Democracy Decoded: lnk.to/DDS6E6SM

So many people have been wondering: what happens if ICE shows up at my polling place? Jonathan Diaz of @campaignlegal.org has answers, and a lawsuit ready. FULL EPISODE: youtu.be/Yc4XG70UJVI

President Trump has repeatedly said he controls MAGA Inc. and its money. Here's the problem: That's illegal. Federal law prohibits officeholders from directing this type of money. We filed a complaint and are calling on the FEC to hold the president accountable. campaignlegal.org/update/presi...

Billions of dollars are flowing into our elections, but we still don’t know the full scope of who’s spending what to influence our vote. That's a problem. Adav Noti joined C-SPAN to explain how the FEC’s failure to enforce campaign finance rules is leaving voters in the dark.

The federal government's efforts to meddle in the midterm elections have not been successful. Americans can and should vote with confidence this midterm election.

Can President Trump actually do that? Here's a list of actions the president has taken that he does not, in fact, have the authority to take. And which of these actions have already been blocked by the courts. campaignlegal.org/CanTrumpDoThat

We blocked an unconstitutional Trump admin rule that tried to make it harder for nonpartisan groups like the @lwv.org to register new U.S. citizens to vote. Now, that work can continue. More about these efforts on the Democracy Decoded podcast: lnk.to/DDS6E6SM

You may have heard that the Department of Justice plans to send as many as 1,000 election monitors to the polls this year. Safeguards already exist to protect voters, but Congress can pass laws to strengthen those rules. Here's how: campaignlegal.org/update/every...

Campaign Legal Center is working with state and local officials, along with our partners across the country, to ensure that our elections remain safe, secure, free and fair.

Of the nearly 24 million Americans with past felony convictions, more than 19 million can register to vote right now, but many may not know it. Our new interactive map makes it easier to compare the complicated nationwide patchwork of felony disenfranchisement laws: RestoreYourVote.org

States should consider legislation that would codify rules and procedures to protect and safeguard election materials against unlawful interference. Here's four key things every state should do: campaignlegal.org/update/how-d...

@jonathandiaz.bsky.social Dir., Voting Advocacy & Partnerships @campaignlegal.org encourages U.S. citizens to ignore intimidation tactics and get out the vote. The Trump Administration has been mostly unsuccessful at changing how elections are run. Full vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=kih_...

Through litigation, advocacy, as well as work with local and national partners and coalitions, CLC is at the forefront of stopping anti-voter actions, because any attempt to limit the freedom to vote is an attempt to silence American voters. campaignlegal.org/update/how-c...

We just secured a court order extending the block on the Trump administration's illegal taxpayer-funded propaganda ads past Election Day. Our team will continue to fight to keep these unlawful ads blocked and uphold the rule of law.

“We are very pleased that the court extended the temporary restraining order, the emergency relief that we had already received in this case, to ensure that the plainly illegal ads remain off the air and clear of further dissemination,” said CLC Action's Renata O’Donnell.

BREAKING: A federal judge just extended an order in our lawsuit BLOCKING the Trump administration's illegal taxpayer-funded ads until after the election. We'll continue fighting to keep this blatantly unlawful propaganda blocked.

We just submitted our legal arguments to the U.S. Supreme Court in our case defending the National Voter Registration Act. We have successfully defended voters and the NVRA in court numerous times, and we will continue to do so at the Supreme Court.

Did you know that on Election Day, there will be hundreds of thousands of eligible voters in local jails across the country? They should be able to access a ballot, but can't. With a few simple policies, states can help ensure that voters in jail are able to exercise that right.

CLC Action was in court today asking a judge to immediately BLOCK the Trump administration from using any more taxpayer money to develop, create or air another piece of blatant political propaganda on TV.

Pardons for sale? 💰 The Trump administration has created a system with one set of rules for those with money and access, and another set of rules for everybody else. More on how we can fix this corrupt pay-to-play system on the Democracy Decoded podcast: lnk.to/DDS6E4SM

NEW LAWSUIT: Public outrage is justified over “paid for by the U.S. government” ads heavily featuring President Trump. Now, @campaignlegal.org Action and our partners are going to court to stop this illegal taxpayer-funded propaganda. More info: campaignlegal.org/press-releas...

"Campaign Legal Center keeps a running roster of donors who’ve received valuable posts, pardons, tariff waivers, regulatory relief, or contracts from the White House. It runs to more than 40 pages of small print." View our pay-to-play corruption tracker: campaignlegal.org/exposing-pre...

Former pardon attorney @lawyeroyer.com says the traditional pardon process has become completely sidelined under the Trump administration. Clemency is now based on access and connections, threatening the rule of law. More on the Democracy Decoded podcast: lnk.to/DDS6E4SM

President Trump's new plan to fund ads through a super PAC he controls is also illegal. We already filed a complaint explaining why he can’t do that.

Voters should continue to confidently vote by mail in the 2026 midterm elections, just as they have done for over a century.

Federal law clearly prohibits the deployment of any armed federal agents to the polls. And like everyone else, federal agents are subject to voter intimidation laws and are prohibited from engaging in conduct that intimidates, coerces, or deters Americans from voting.

“I think the president is trying to use all of the powers at his disposal to control the election results, and almost all of those efforts are illegal, but that has not deterred the administration,” says Campaign Legal Center's Adav Noti.

NEW: We filed a complaint alleging President Trump violated federal campaign finance laws based on his repeated, explicit claims indicating that he controls and directs the super PAC MAGA Inc.
