Bill > S136

This bill aims to expand voting by mail in federal elections and establish automatic voter registration through state motor vehicle authorities. Specifically, the bill would: 1) Require states to allow all eligible voters to vote by mail in federal elections, with states only able to impose a deadline for returning ballots. States must mail ballots to all registered voters at least 2 weeks before a federal election. 2) Provide for free postage for all mail-in ballots related to federal elections. 3) Amend the National Voter Registration Act to require state motor vehicle authorities to automatically transmit voter registration information to election officials when individuals interact with the motor vehicle agency. This would automatically register eligible individuals to vote, or update their voter registration address, unless they decline. The bill seeks to increase voter access and participation in federal elections by expanding mail-in voting options and establishing automatic voter registration.
