Last month, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed the Democracy For the People Act into law.
This is a HUGE win for voting rights and campaign finance reform in the North Star State — and provides a model that other states can follow, including:
- Allowing 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote;
- Establishing automatic voter registration at many state agencies;
- Creating permanent absentee voting status;
- Strengthening penalties for voter intimidation and deception;
- Expanding language access in voting materials — and more!
Friend, this victory came as the result of a monthslong mobilization of activists on the ground — and it wouldn’t have been possible without thousands of People For the American Way members joining the movement across the state.
