While Republican Governors across the country are working hard to disenfranchise voters before the upcoming elections, Democratic Governors are doing the opposite - they are making it easier to vote.

In Oregon, automatic voter registration took effect in time for the May primaries -- where Oregonians will vote by mail for all races.
Oregon joins Washington and Colorado as the only three states offering vote by mail options.

In California, Governor Brown signed legislation that automatically registers eligible voters when they obtain or renew their driver's license at the DMV.
Once enacted, this could help 6.6 million Californians register with ease.

Pennsylvania, led by Governor Wolf, became the 23rd state in the nation to offer internet voter registration.
Governor Wolf promised online voter registration during his campaign for Governor and as of December 2015, more than 50,000 people have used the online application to either register or update their voter information.

In Vermont, Governor Shumlin signed legislation to allow same-day voter registration, becoming only the 14th state to do so.
Vermont has also begun to implement online voter registration.

Everyone should have the right to vote - and it should be free of arbitrary barriers meant to block Democratic votes.

Sign the petition and join the Democratic Governor's Association (DGA) as they fight to make voting easier across the country.

1. Rather hypocritical

The Dems make is hard to vote in the primaries, but want to make it easy to vote in the GE, while at the same time complaining about Republicans doing the same in the GE that these same Dems did in the primaries.
