SB117 (2018) - Same Day Voter Registration
- Status: Failed
- Position: Support
- Session: 2018 Regular
- Latest Update: February 21, 2018
This bill would eliminate the requirement that voters must register 14 days prior to an election. Instead, this bill would allow a person to register to vote on any day a board of registrars has open office hours, including the day of an election.
We support this effort to expand access to the polls because all Americans who want to cast a ballot should be able to do so. The bill received a favorable report from the Senate committee with a vote of 6-0-1, but failed on the Senate floor.
