Key points of the Brennan Center’s Voter Registration Modernization plan:

•Voluntary, automated registration of all consenting citizens when they come in contact with many government agencies.
•Portable registration, which keeps voters on the rolls even when they move.
•Fail-safe procedures permitting voters to correct missing or out-of-date information online or at the polls.
•Federal funding for state improvements in voting technology that will result in reduced taxpayer costs.
The benefits are substantial:

•It boosts election integrity, providing safeguards against hacking and curbing the potential for fraud.
•It could help bring up to 50 million eligible voters into the political process.
•It costs less than the current paper-based system.
