Last year, Oregon continued its leadership in voting rights by passing the New Motor Voter law and starting to automatically register eligible voters. California and New Jersey have since followed Oregon’s lead, and 17 other states have introduced similar bills.

  1. Motor Voter laws are not complete, and will not honestly serve democracy, without a “None of the Above” choice available on each ballot line.
