| Desc | Voting and elections Automatic voter registration. Common Cause led efforts across the country on behalf of automatic voter registration:Through legislative or administrative action, Oregon, California, and Connecticut have adopted automatic registration. In Oregon, the first state to make the move, more than 51,000 voters were registered automatically in the first five months of 2016.The Illinois legislature passed automatic registration but the bill was vetoed by Gov. Bruce Rauner. Maryland lawmakers agreed to provide voter registration at multiple state agencies; Common Cause continues to lobby there for automatic registration.Other voter registration reforms. Common Cause also recorded other victories in efforts to boost voter registration:Colorado legislators passed legislation ending the state's voter registration "blackout" in the days leading up to Election Day.New Mexico passed a bill that will permit 17-year-olds to vote in primary elections if they will turn 18 by the general election. Rhode Island adopted online voter registration.Maryland legislators overrode Gov. Larry Hogan's veto of legislation automatically restoring the voting rights of more than 40,000 ex-offenders.Redistricting reform. Common Cause spearheaded redistricting reform efforts in multiple states:Activists in Maryland lobbied on behalf of legislation proposed by Gov. Larry Hogan and a bipartisan study group to create a nine-person independent commission to handle redistricting. Common Cause is lobbying for similar independent redistricting proposals in states including Nebraska, New Mexico, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.Common Cause's leadership was instrumental in the approval by 71 percent of Ohio voters last year of Issue 1, a state constitutional amendment creating a new redistricting commission for General Assembly districts with improved partisan balance. Indiana's General Assembly created a Special Interim Study Committee on Redistricting. In Nebraska, Common Cause teamed with a bipartisan pair of state lawmakers to win passage of a redistricting reform plan that would create a nine-member citizen commission to recommend new legislative and congressional districts to the legislature. Gov. Pete Ricketts vetoed the bill however. | Desc |

| Desc | Money and politicsPublic financing of elections. Common Cause lobbied successfully across the country on behalf of small-dollar donor based public financing systems.California lawmakers lifted a ban on public financing of state and local campaigns. Public financing currently is an option only in a few chartered California cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Connecticut legislature defeated a bill that would have suspended the state's Citizens' Election Program for 2016 and cut $11.7 million from the Citizens' Election Fund.The county council in Montgomery County, MD agreed to a $5 million appropriation to implement the county's public financing program. Campaign finance disclosure. Common Cause led efforts to strengthen campaign finance disclosure requirements in several states: Colorado passed a state law strengthening disclosure requirements in local school board races. Connecticut and New Mexico passed legislation requiring e-filing of campaign finance reports. in races for the state legislature and constitutional offices.Massachusetts lawmakers agreed to legislation enhancing campaign finance disclosure requirements.Executive order on corporate political spending. Common Cause worked with a national coalition of reform organizations pressuring President Obama to issue an executive order requiring federal government contractors to disclose their political spending. More than 50,000 Common Cause activists have signed our petition to the President.Constitutional amendment. Common Cause secured passage in Maui County, Hawaii, of Resolution 1524, supporting a constitutional amendment overturning Citizens United. With the vote, every Hawaii county and the state legislature are on record supporting an amendment. Nationally, voters or their representatives in 17 states and more than 700 localities have called on Congress to pass a constitutional amendment and submit it to the states for ratification.Political spending by "social welfare" nonprofits. At Common Cause's request, members submitted more than 7,000 formal comments to the Internal Revenue Service, asking the agency to adopt a new regulation clarifying that "social welfare organizations may spend no more than an "insubstantial" sum on political activity. | Desc |

| Desc | Ethics, Transparency and Accountability in GovernmentStrengthening public corruption laws. Common Cause successfully lobbied for a bill overhauling Florida's public corruption laws. The bill expands the definition of public servant to include those who contract with the government to perform a public function. It also removes the requirement that state prosecutors prove that those accused of fraud, bid rigging, bid tampering or bribery acted "corruptly or with "corrupt intent." Instead, prosecutors only have to prove they acted "knowingly and intentionally." Making government more open in Maryland. An open government coalition led by Common Cause in Maryland secured passage of a bill requiring the state Board of Public Works to give three business days notice before making large funding cuts. The state also agreed to require public bodies to publish agendas prior to their meetings.Making the work of government more accessible. New Mexico passed HR1, establishing an online archive of House hearings so citizens who can't watch those proceedings live can view them later.Strengthening accountability in New York. Common Cause is hosting a website, www.ethicspledgeny.org, in New York that invites citizens to join in calling on lawmakers to step forward and sign the Clean Conscience Pledge, and commit to enacting real and lasting reform. Signers agree to work to limit outside income for legislators, close the LLC loophole, and enact strong disclosure mechanisms for all discretionary spending.Lobbyist registration. Common Cause successfully lobbied for a rule requiring political consultants in Portland, OR, to register with the City Auditor and disclose their clients. | Desc |
