Automatic voter registration

Automatic voter registration (AVR) is a system that registers eligible citizens to vote automatically when they interact with certain government agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, unless they choose to opt out. This process streamlines and modernizes voter registration, making it easier for eligible individuals to participate in elections by reducing administrative barriers. AVR helps increase voter participation and ensures that voter rolls are more accurate and up-to-date. It operates within existing laws and safeguards voter rights by providing options to decline registration if desired.
