Automatic Voter Registration in 16 States!

One in four eligible voters isn’t registered. A decade ago, the Bren­nan Center proposed auto­matic voter regis­tra­tion (AVR), which effort­lessly registers you to vote while you’re at the Depart­ment of Motor Vehicles or another govern­ment agency. Since then, 16 states and the District of Columbia have approved some form of AVR.
