http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/votema/ To The Honorable Michael Moran and The Honorable Tom Kennedy, Chairmen Joint Committee on Election Laws and Secretary of State William Galvin, House Speaker Robert DeLeo, Senate President Therese Murray and Governor Deval Patrick We, the undersigned, respectfully ask you to examine our state's laws for registering voters. In 2008, over 10,000 Massachusetts citizens showed up at their polling place to vote, only to discover they were not registered. They registered that day, but could not vote. This should not happen again. Each year, some 450,000 Massachusetts registered voters move and need to re-register again. We need to find a way to easily and automatically move their registration to their new address. Each year, about 100,000 youth turn 18 and become eligible to vote. We need to ensure that they register easily and automatically, instead of in a rush right before Presidential Elections. Each year, some 25,000 immigrants earn their citizenship. They should register easily and automatically. We support Election Day Registration H.576/S.341, Bilingual Ballots S.20, On Demand Absentee ballots H.561, and the Massachusetts Freedom to Vote Act S.348, and ask you to work with your colleagues to pass these valuable bills.
