[ [link removed] ]Tell state officials: We need online voter registration now!

PFAW Member,

Voting is one of our most fundamental rights as Americans. But in order to
vote, we must first register – and nationwide, people are having trouble
doing just that.

[ [link removed] ]Act NOW to support online voter registration! >>

We’re only a few months away from one of the most important elections in
generations, and many voter registration hotspots – such as DMVs and town
clerks’ offices – have been closed for months to protect public health
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recent protests against anti-Black police violence did create a brief
surge in voter registrations,^1 but the vital canvassing efforts that
normally happen at college campuses, at concerts, and in the streets have
been entirely shut down. Despite some states moving towards reopening,
it’s likely that these registration options will be severely curtailed
through the rest of the year.

That makes a nationwide increase in online voter registration crucial for
maintaining our democracy.

Experts say that the loss of in-person registration opportunities during
the pandemic this year will especially keep students, people of color, and
naturalized immigrants from voting. Every person deserves a chance to have
their say in our government, and that’s why it’s so urgent that you act
today!

[ [link removed] ]Tell states without online voter registration to enact this vital
reform NOW! >>

Online voter registration is a proven and secure way to modernize and
increase the accessibility of our voter registration systems. Wherever
online voter registration isn’t yet an option, state officials need to act
NOW to have it ready in time for November’s general election!

and ensure that everyone is able to cast their vote in November! >>

In solidarity,
