Voter Registration Promotion Act

Voter Registration Promotion Act

This bill directs the Office of the Postmaster General to modify any hard copy change of address form used by the U.S. Postal Service so that the form contains a reminder that any individual using such form should update his or her voter registration.

Bill 117 HR 827, also known as the Voter Registration Promotion Act, aims to increase voter registration and participation in the United States. The bill proposes several measures to achieve this goal.

First, the bill requires states to offer online voter registration options to make it easier for eligible individuals to register to vote. This would streamline the registration process and make it more accessible to a wider range of people.

Second, the bill mandates that states establish automatic voter registration systems, where eligible individuals are automatically registered to vote when they interact with certain government agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. This would help increase voter registration rates and reduce barriers to participation. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for states to implement same-day voter registration, allowing individuals to register and vote on the same day. This would make it easier for people who may have missed traditional registration deadlines to still participate in elections. Overall, the Voter Registration Promotion Act seeks to modernize and simplify the voter registration process in order to increase voter turnout and ensure that all eligible individuals have the opportunity to participate in the democratic process.
