Universal Mail-In Voting and Automatic Voter Registration for Federal Elections.
This Act introduces two major changes to simplify participation in Federal elections. First, all eligible citizens gain the right to vote by mail without needing an excuse, and states must proactively send ballots with free postage. Second, voter registration becomes automatic when interacting with state motor vehicle authorities (DMV), unless the individual opts out, aiming to increase turnout and ease the process for disabled citizens.
