Why Contribute to SOS Ballot?

SOS Ballot, Inc. (Save Our Secret Ballot) is a 501 c 4 organization dedicated to educating the American public on the continued need for a secret ballot wherever state or federal law requires elections.

To continue to protect this inalienable right, SOS Ballot will file and place on the ballot in various states a Constitutional Amendment to protect this right. The language shall read:

"The right of individuals to vote by secret ballot is fundamental. Where state or federal law requires elections for public office or public votes on initiatives or referenda, or designations or authorizations of employee representation, the right of individuals to vote by secret ballot shall be guaranteed."

Why are we pushing this? Because some organizations and individuals are working overtime to eliminate this right for American working men and women.

SOS Ballot and our supporters believe that a voter's right to a secret ballot is an essential and fundamental principle in our society and offers opportunities for broader voter participation. Without the ability to vote secretly, individual political freedom will decline and be subject to threats and intimidation by those who want voters to pursue a specific course of action or ideology.

Must Article II of the Constitution of this State, relating to the right of suffrage, be amended by adding Section 12 so as to provide that the fundamental right of an individual to vote by secret ballot is guaranteed for a designation, a selection, or an authorization for employee representation by a labor organization?

Explanation:

A ‘Yes' vote will give employees the constitutional right to vote by secret ballot when they are voting on whether to be represented by a labor union.
