Co-sponsor election modernization today

Please support election modernization legislation in 2013.

I urge you to cosponsor legislation such as:

SD01562 (Sen. Finegold) - A comprehensive bill with early voting, audits of election equipment, voter registration modernization, pre-registration of 16 and 17 year-olds, and more.

SD00001, HD00048 (Sen. Murray and Rep. Straus) - Constitutional amendments to allow for no-excuse absentee voting and early voting.

SD00436, HD02543 (Sen. Clark and Rep. Garballey) - Allows for online voter registration and registration verification.

Permanent Registration (Rep. Garballey HD02545, Sen. Chang-Diaz SD01166) - Voter registration is updated automatically when you change your address with USPS or the RMV.

SD01139, HD03060 (Sen. Creem and Rep. Fox) – Establishes Election Day registration.

Why is this important?

Last November, some voters in Massachusetts had to wait hours to cast their vote and many others did not vote due to our out-dated voter registration system. This must change. It is time to pass comprehensive election reform legislation -- including election audits, pre-registration for 16 and 17 year-olds, online voter registration, Election Day Registration and more.

Let us write our legislators and demand election reform for 2013 in Massachusetts.
