Re: Registering to vote in New York

Friend, [sign the petition: Make voter registration automatic nationwide.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Voter registration should be a simple process, but many Americans still face suppression tactics that keep the U.S. at the [lower end of voter turnout](. As a result, the U.S. has low registration rates compared to other democracies. We can make this process easier right now and remove one more barrier to our right to vote. Automatic voter registration is a simple reform that will make our election system more accessible. It would significantly increase the number of eligible voters who participate in our democracy, eliminating a critical barrier.

Below is an email we sent out earlier calling for automatic voter registration: --------------------------------------------------------------- Friend, [sign the petition: Make voter registration automatic nationwide.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( In 2022, Americans voted in record numbers, with [52.2%]( of the citizen voting-age population participating. However, about 30% of eligible Americans remain unregistered to vote despite robust efforts from civic voter registration programs. This gap in registration disproportionately impacts low-income individuals, communities of color, and younger people. Automatic voter registration would put eligible voters on the rolls and give more Americans a voice. [Sign the petition: Make voter registration automatic nationwide.]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Automatic voter registration isn't merely a convenience; it's a [proven tool]( for strengthening our democracy by increasing participation. When you renew or obtain official identification, such as a driver’s license, you have to provide key information such as proof of identity, residency, and age. The same information you need to register to vote. We could simplify the process of voter registration by automatically registering eligible voters when obtaining an ID. If we are to be a country of the people, by the people, and for the people, then we must ensure that the people can actually vote. That's why we're calling on remaining states across the nation to enact automatic voter registration policies immediately. [Sign the petition: Reduce barriers to voting.
