John,

In the face of the coronavirus pandemic, some state governments have postponed primary elections. Last Tuesday, Ohio put a stop to their primary on the day of, creating confusion among voters. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Maryland have all followed suit, postponing their primaries to later dates this spring or summer.

We support protecting voters' health first and foremost. That is why we need to make voting easier and more accessible, especially in situations like this one. The truth is, there’s multiple long overdue voting reforms that could enable voters to still make their voices heard during this unprecedented crisis, and we at Voto Latino have joined The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights’ Voting Rights Task Force in urging members of Congress, governors, and state election officials to pass these reforms NOW.

Here are some of the key voting reforms that would make voting easier for Americans both during and after this pandemic:

*
Online
voter
registration,
same-day
voter
registration,
and
extended
voter
registration
deadlines
to
make
it
easier
for
every
eligible
voter
to
register;
*
Early
in-person
voting
to
reduce
lines
and
crowds
at
polling
places;
*
Voting
by
mail
to
make
it
even
easier
to
vote,
especially
for
those
who
need
assistance
or
who
are
immune-compromised,
and
to
allow
people
to
practice
social
distancing.

Every state should have these options already, but unfortunately, many don’t, and this public health crisis has made it all the more urgent that we pass them ASAP.
