I call for the following solutions to voting in America: 1) Modernize voter registration through solutions that increase voter participation. 38 states and Washington, DC offer online voter registration, a 20 state increase since 2014 (four more states passed but have not implemented OVR). 15 states plus DC offer same day registration which can improve voter turnout by 10 percent. Eight states plus DC have adopted automatic voter registration, a reform that removes barriers to voter registration. Illinois and Rhode Island recently passed this pro-voter reform. 2) Offer in person early voting. Options which can increase voter participation between two to four percent. 37 states plus DC offer some form of early voting & programs like “Soul to the Polls” have increased turnout in minority communities. 3) Restore the voting rights of formerly incarcerated individuals. An estimated 5.85 million Americans are prevented from voting because of past convictions. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/respectmyvote-modernize-voting
