Recommendation 2.3
Establish, through state and federal legislation, same-day registration and universal automatic voter registration, with sufficient funding and training to ensure that all government agencies that have contact with citizens include such registration as part of their processes.
Automatic Voter Registration
Every state should adopt legislation to require all state social-service agencies to include automatic voter registration (AVR) as part of their services. AVR improves the accuracy and verification of voter eligibility and has significantly expanded voting rolls in Oregon and Vermont. Congress should also require federal agencies to expand AVR into a system of universal registration for the country.

EXAMPLE
The 1993 National Voter Registration Act (the “Motor Voter Act”) expanded opportunities for registration by allowing voters to register for federal elections when applying for or renewing a driver’s license.
Same-Day Voter Registration
Because not all eligible voters will encounter a state or federal agency before election day, same-day registration (SDR) should also be in place in all states. SDR has proven to enhance turnout by as much as 5-7 percent.
