Easier Voting: Universal Mail-in Ballots and Automatic Voter Registration.

This act aims to make it easier for citizens to participate in federal elections by introducing universal mail-in voting without requiring an excuse and automatic voter registration through motor vehicle authorities. These changes are intended to increase voter turnout, reduce election costs, and ensure greater accessibility for all, including individuals with disabilities.
Key points
All eligible voters will be able to vote by mail in federal elections, with ballots mailed two weeks before the election.
Mail-in ballots sent by election officials and returned by voters will be postage-free.
Voter registration will become automatic when interacting with state motor vehicle authorities, with an opt-out option.
The act seeks to boost voter participation, shorten polling place wait times, and lower election administration costs.
