Automatic Voter Registration: Easier Access to Voting
This act aims to simplify voter registration by introducing automatic registration for citizens turning 18 and those interacting with motor vehicle agencies. This will enable more people to participate in federal elections, making the registration process easier and more accessible, especially for young people and individuals with disabilities.
Key points
Automatic voter registration for individuals turning 18, without needing a separate application.
Voter registration will occur automatically during motor vehicle agency transactions (e.g., getting a driver's license), unless the individual explicitly declines to register.
Implementation of safeguards to protect voter personal information and ensure the accuracy and security of voter lists.
States will receive funding to modernize voter registration systems and educate citizens about new registration methods.
