Elections
Equality Voters are those who share HRC’s vision for a society free of discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, and we’re having more of an impact on elections than ever before.
Choose from one of our featured topics to explore specific areas of our Elections resources.
There are over 75 million Equality Voters in America — LGBTQ+ people and allies who understand the importance of electing officeholders as committed to equality as we are. But pro-equality candidates are only part of the equation: we must also fight to ensure the access to and integrity of our elections. Access to free and fair elections is central to preserving democracy, and it’s something that affects LGBTQ+ people disproportionately.
