Log your call for Automatic Voter Registration in Massachusetts
Call Governor Baker and tell him to sign AVR into law!
With one simple policy change, we could make the electoral process here in Massachusetts more inclusive, accurate, and secure. It’s bipartisan, it’s successful—it’s Automatic Voter Registration (AVR).
AVR flips voter registration from an opt-in system to an opt-out one, automatically adding eligible voters to the rolls upon visits to state agencies like the RMV. We've already seen the huge difference such a simple change can make. In Oregon, AVR registered over 200,000 new voters in just 6 months, and around half of them voted in the 2016 election.
Automatic Voter Registration has already passed the House and Senare with bipartisan support, but we need help from activists like you to bring this needed reform to Massachusetts.
Call Governor Baker at (617) 725-4005 and tell him: “My name is [YOUR NAME], and I'm a resident of [YOUR TOWN]. Please make Massachusetts elections more efficient, accurate, and secure by signing Automatic Voter Registration into law."
