Rick Hasen is an American legal scholar and expert in legislation, election law and campaign finance. He is currently a professor of law at UCLA Law and the Director of UCLA Law's Safeguarding Democracy Project.

Hasen was one of the founding co-editors of the quarterly Election Law Journal, a peer reviewed publication on election law. He also runs Election Law Blog, focusing on election law, campaign finance, voting rights, initiatives, redistricting, and other legal issues. In 2009, Hasen was elected to the American Law Institute. In 2013, the National Law Journal included Hasen on its list of the "100 most influential lawyers in America."

Hasen is the author of 5 critically acclaimed books, the most recent of which, Cheap Speech: How disinformation poisons our politics....and how to cure it. His upcoming book, to be published in February 2024 is A Real Right to Vote: How a Constitutional Amendment Can Safeguard American Democracy. Congressman Jamie Raskin calls it a “powerfully cogent case for the fundamental right not yet inscribed in the Constitution: the right to vote.

Richard Hasen deploys his mastery of the ebb and flow of voting rights jurisprudence on the Supreme Court to demonstrate why a voting rights constitutional amendment is an imperative in the twenty-first century. This book is a serious contribution to political and constitutional discourse.”
