Andrew Yang Policy on AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATION
Citizens have the right to vote. Not citizens who jump through varying hoops depending on the state in which they reside – all citizens.
When you turn the legal voting age (now 18), all American citizens should be automatically enrolled to vote. Upon interacting with a government agency (e.g., the DMV), information would be passed along to the relevant state voting board unless a person opts out of being enrolled to vote.
States that have implemented Automatic Voter Registration (“AVR”) have seen voter registration rates increase by 60+%. Additionally, having the infrastructure in place to provide AVR leads to having more accurate information on voters, thus “cleaning” the voter rolls and making voting day run more smoothly.
A move to AVR also usually coincides with a move to an electronic system, which is also cheaper and easier to update.
