Gerrymandering is a scourge on our democracy — it rewards the extremes of both parties and silences the moderate majority. The Common Values Party supports every reasonable measure to protect the integrity of our elections and remove even the appearance of impropriety.
The Common Values Party supports
Eliminating gerrymandering through independent, non-partisan redistricting commissions.
Fair electoral maps and representatives who genuinely reflect their constituents.
Voter identification requirements at the polls.
Additional voting locations in densely populated areas.
An end to ballot harvesting.
Submission of all vote counts on election night.
A verifiable paper ballot behind every vote.
A guarantee that only citizens vote.
Mandatory public debates between candidates.
Neutral, independent fact-checking of campaign claims.
Free and fair elections are the foundation of self-government, and the Common Values Party will fight to protect them.
