Voting 101: How to Promote Automatic Voter Registration

In this one hour phone call, we’ll go into detail about our Massachusetts campaign for Automatic Voter Registration, as a way of looking at how to initiate a state-by-state campaign. Passing a law is intricate and challenging but it’s not rocket science! Come hear about our action plan and learn how YOU can begin to lay the groundwork for passing this game-changing legislation in your state. I’ll even tell you about our mistakes!

We’ll also go look at ERIC, Electronic Registration Information Center, which is the best chance we have of displacing Cross Check. (If you don’t know what Cross Check is, and need some depressing news to fill your weekend, watch The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.) THE GOOD NEWS IS that Pew Charitable Trust developed this replacement, which 21 states have signed onto to cross reference voters between states, and clean up our messy voter rolls! (When you know about Cross Check, ERIC looks all the more wonderful by comparison. And it is not that expensive to deploy!)
