Keep the momentum moving from Hawaii to Delaware.

Hours ago, legislators in Hawaii passed a Same Day Registration (SDR) bill that will allow people to register and vote on the same day. The bill is on the way to the Governor’s desk for a signature, and will make Hawaii the 13th state (plus the District of Columbia!) with SDR. Our Hawaii state partner, Faith Action for Community Equity, was on the front lines of this fight.

With right-wing leaders doing everything they can to restrict the franchise in places like Arizona, North Carolina, and Texas, SDR is one step states can take to expand rather than reduce voter rolls. Because voting is a right, not a privilege, and we are stronger when everyone has a voice.

That’s why Action for the Common Good and Center for Popular Democracy are also working closely with our state partner, Delaware Alliance for Community Advancement, to pass an SDR bill in the First State.

Can you help our efforts to advance voting rights in Delaware and elsewhere with a $13 investment?

Arcane, outdated voting rules fall most heavily on young people, low-income citizens, and people of color – those with the lowest registration rate. Same Day Registration helps level the playing field for them by offering a major new opportunity to register to vote and participate in elections.

Same Day Registration is a proven means of increasing voter participation. States with SDR led the nation in voter turnout by 10 percentage points in the 2012 presidential election. Please help us pass SDR across the country and continue to do what we can to expand rather than restrict voting rights.

Thanks for all you do.
