Are Our Votes Safe? Voting Rights, Voter ID, and the 2026 Election

Livestream | Friday, Jun 26, 2026 | 11am PST

Overview

As the 2026 election season unfolds, voting rights and election access are once again at the center of national debate. New legal challenges, proposed voter ID requirements, and changes in election administration are reshaping the voting landscape across the country, raising questions about who can vote, how ballots are cast, and whether every eligible vote will be counted. 

Civil rights advocates warn that many of these changes could have a disproportionate impact on minority, low-income, elderly, rural, and first-time voters, making access to reliable information more important than ever.

Join American Community Media for a conversation on the changing landscape of voting rights, election access, and the challenges facing American democracy as we approach a crucial mid-term election scheduled for later this year.
