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

PFAW Member,

We’re only 128 days away from the November election and we’re running out
of time to make sure that every person can vote. In order to do that, we
need state officials to enable online voter registration reforms
nationwide.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition TODAY to support online voter registration! We need
to pressure state officials to start the process NOW >>

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. Although the recent protests against racial injustice did create
a brief surge in voter registrations,^1 the vital canvassing efforts that
normally happen at college campuses, at concerts, and in the streets have
been entirely shut down. Due to the recent surges of confirmed coronavirus
cases, 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. Democrats have been working hard to improve
election security during the pandemic, but Republicans continue to
stonewall these efforts.^2

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!

Trump and his Republican enablers continue to spread falsehoods about
efforts to make voting more accessible, so the need for voter registration
reform this year is more evident and urgent than ever.

[ [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!

[ [link removed] ]Act TODAY to tell state officials to enable online voter registration
and ensure that everyone is able to cast their vote in November! >>

In unity,

– Sarah, Digital Campaigns Associate
