Expanding Democracy

Our democracy is strongest when we all have the ability to participate. The right to vote, to choose our leaders, and to weigh in on issues affecting our lives is at the heart of what it means to be in a democracy. We want our elections to be fair, our votes to count, and our voices to be heard. We support legislation that will:

  1. Establish redistricting criteria that includes careful protections for communities of interest and partisan neutrality.
  2. Establish a constitutional right to vote that cannot be abridged or taken away.
  3. Establish automatic voter registration.
  4. Allow early voting to ease burdens around getting to the polls on Election Day.
  5. Provide access to same-day voter registration.

Nuestra democracia es más fuerte cuando todos tenemos la capacidad de participar. El derecho al voto, a elegir a nuestros líderes y a evaluar los problemas que afectan nuestras vidas es la esencia de lo que significa vivir en una democracia. Queremos que nuestras elecciones sean justas, que nuestros votos cuenten y que nuestras voces sean escuchadas. Apoyamos una legislación que:

  1. Establecerá criterios de redistribución de distritos sobre cómo los mapas legislativos que protegen a las comunidades de interés deben ser trazados.
  2. Establecerá un derecho constitucional al voto que no se pueda restringir ni quitar.
  3. Establecerá registro automático de votantes.
  4. Permitirá que la votación anticipada alivie la carga de llegar a las urnas el día de las elecciones.
  5. Proporcionará acceso al registro de votantes el mismo día.
