Tell State Legislatures: Pass Automatic Voter Registration

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro just announced that eligible voters in the state will be automatically registered to vote when they renew or obtain a driver's license.

Last year alone, more than 1.5 million Pennsylvania residents who were eligible to vote weren't able to do so because they weren't registered – and that's just in one state.

These types of "automatic voter registration" policies have proven to be effective in increasing participation in our Democracy. It's a model all other states should immediately follow.

Tell state legislatures: Pass automatic voter registration policies now.

"Residents of our Commonwealth already provide proof of identity, residency, age, and citizenship at the DMV—all the information required to register to vote—so it makes good sense to streamline that process with voter registration," Shapiro said in a statement. 

"My administration will keep taking innovative actions like this one to make government work better and more efficiently for all Pennsylvanians," he continued.
