Summary of Bill HR 3555

Bill 117 HR 3555, also known as the Voters on the Move Registration Act of 2021, aims to make it easier for individuals who move frequently to update their voter registration information. The bill seeks to address the issue of voter disenfranchisement that can occur when individuals move frequently and fail to update their voter registration in a timely manner.

Under the provisions of the bill, states would be required to establish a system for automatic voter registration for individuals who provide change of address information to the United States Postal Service. This would help ensure that individuals who move frequently are able to maintain an accurate and up-to-date voter registration.

Additionally, the bill would require states to implement a system for electronic voter registration, allowing individuals to update their voter registration information online. This would make it easier for individuals to update their voter registration when they move, reducing the likelihood of voter disenfranchisement. Overall, the Voters on the Move Registration Act of 2021 aims to improve access to the voting process for individuals who move frequently, ensuring that they are able to exercise their right to vote regardless of their living situation.
