Modernisierung der Wählerregistrierung
Registering to vote is the first step in making our voices heard in our democracy. Common Cause is advocating for modernization of the registration process nationwide so that more eligible voters can get on the rolls.
Every eligible American should be able to register to vote in a convenient and secure way that is beneficial to new voters and administrators alike. Key voter registration improvements can ensure our systems are secure and efficient, safeguard our votes, and even save states money. These upgrades include:
- Automatic Voter Registration (AVR): Automatically registering eligible voters through the DMV and other government agencies unless they opt out.
- Election Day/Same Day Registration (SDR/EDR): Allowing eligible voters to register and vote on Election Day and during early voting periods.
- Online Voter Registration (OVR): Letting eligible voters to register to vote or update their information via secure government websites, and
- Pre-Registration for High School Students: Giving eligible 16- and 17-year olds the ability to pre-register to vote, so that their registration is automatically activated when they turn 18.

Sign the Petition: Enact Automatic Voter Registration nationwide
Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) would help ensure that every eligible American has a voice in our democracy, save states money, and make voting rolls more accurate and secure. That’s why AVR should be enacted in each and every state to modernize our outdated voter registration system.
