Delaware Senate to Consider Improvement to Voter Registration System

Our government ‘by the people’ is stronger when more people participate. Common Cause Delaware urges the Senate to pass legislation to create an automatic voter registration system. 

On Tuesday, the Delaware Senate is expected to vote on SB5 (미국 연방 공보 위원회), legislation to create an automatic voter registration system at the Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles, and potentially other state agencies.

Our government ‘by the people’ is stronger when more people participate. But right now, in Delaware, not everyone does.

인구조사 추산 suggest that at least 10,000 Delawareans of voting age are not registered to vote. They also indicate that 12.6% of Delawareans have moved within the past year, and may not have updated their voter registration.

A simple change in Delaware’s voter registration process could ensure that 모두 eligible Delawareans are registered to vote at their current address – so they can participate in upcoming elections without bureaucratic barriers.

On Tuesday, the full Senate will vote on Senate Bill 5. Common Cause Delaware urges the Senate to pass the bill. For a one-time cost of less than $22,000, Delaware can fully implement “Automatic Voter Registration” and ensure that any updated name or address received from a registered voter during a DMV license or identification card transaction will automatically be forwarded to the Department of Elections.

“AVR”을 구현한 다른 주들은 그 이점을 자랑했습니다. 예를 들어, 조지아 주무장관은 AVR 시스템이 등록 거의 3분의 2 복숭아 주의 유권자들의. 오리건 주지사는 AVR을 불렀습니다. "놀라운 성공" 소수 민족과 덜 도시적이고 덜 부유한 유권자들 사이에서 등록이 증가했습니다. 코네티컷 주무장관은 AVR이 "엄청나게 성공적"라고 밝히며 40만 명의 새로운 유권자가 추가되었고 55만 건 이상의 기존 등록이 업데이트되었다고 밝혔습니다.

AVR has been adopted and implemented in 19 states, and is part of the “For the People Act” now being debated in the US Senate. If implemented nationwideAVR은 유권자 등록 명부를 더 정확하게 만들고, 비용을 절감하며, 투표소에서 발생하는 혼란과 기타 문제를 줄이는 동시에 최대 5,000만 명의 새로운 유권자를 등록할 수 있습니다.

But Delaware doesn’t have to wait for Congress to pass the “For the People Act” to implement AVR here.

We urge our Senate to pass Senate Bill 5 when it comes to the floor on Tuesday.
