Bring Automatic Voter Registration to Massachusetts!
Voting is one of our most fundamental rights as citizens. Yet, almost 700,000 eligible voters in Massachusetts aren’t registered and thus are unable to participate. That’s like all of Boston being unable to vote!
Why is this important?
Bill H. 3937 was just filed to create an automatic voter registration system in Massachusetts. It would allow for all eligible citizens to be automatically registered to vote whenever they go to an RMV, unless they opt-out.
Automatic voter registration is designed to increase political participation and strengthen voting rights by shifting our voter registration system from an opt-in to an opt-out one, making elections more free, fair, and accessible for all. It’s clearly time for proactive reforms like automatic voter registration to engage every eligible citizen in the political process.
In 2015, Oregon and California became the first states to adopt this reform, and we now believe it is time for Massachusetts to join and help lead the charge for a better democracy by adopting automatic voter registration.
Please tell your representatives on Beacon Hill to support automatic voter registration!
