We, the undersigned, are concerned residents of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who urge our representatives to act now to adopt and implement no-excuse absentee voting in Pennsylvania.
Why is this important?
Voting is the most fundamentally significant right under our Constitution because the right to vote in a free and unimpaired manner is the preservative of other basic civil and political rights. Offering no-excuse absentee voting will expand access to the ballot box for all Pennsylvanians and make it easier for Pennsylvanians to participate in our democracy.
“[T]he right to vote is too precious, too fundamental to be burdened or conditioned.” Harper v. Virginia State Bd. of Elections, 383 U.S. 663, 670 (1966).
