Voting Laws Roundup: October 2023, published by the Brennan Center, offers an overview of the trends in election law around the country. There is good news, including:
- “Nearly half of all states enacted at least one expansive voting law this year.”
- “At least four of those states — Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, and New Mexico — enacted multiple expansive voting laws or an omnibus pro-voter law in 2023.”
And there is bad news, including:
- 14 states have adopted restrictive laws.
- North Carolina legislature has passed a law restricting voting access and another “undermin[ing] election administration.”
