Red wave. Blue wave. Gray wave? Automatic voter registration increases independent voters while not guaranteeing turnout.
'Twenty-three states have same-day voter registration, but in those that don’t, voters must register prior to the election. Kadida Kenner, founding CEO of the New Pennsylvania Project, believes implementing same-day registration or open primaries would help to mitigate confusion for new voters trying to participate.
“If you don’t have that knowledge, and you show up to the polls in May thinking you’re registered to vote for an election, only to find out that you’re going to be turned away because you didn’t choose a political party, then you may lose a voter for life who was just turned off by the system at that point,” Kenner said. |

No Kings: Philadelphia Founding CEO Kadida Kenner spoke at the No Kings rally in Philadelphia at Independence Mall on October 18th, reminding us to get into some good trouble and vote on November 4th.
Never forget what the late Congressman John Lewis reminded us,
“The most powerful, nonviolent tool we have in a democratic society is the vote."

Everything we do, from hosting town halls and producing podcasts to knocking on doors, expands Pennsylvania's electorate by engaging Pennsylvanians to be civically involved and encouraging them to turn out to vote twice a year, none of it would be possible without you. |
