Voting Rights

Today, Congresswoman Julia Brownley (CA-26) joined Congressman Rick Larsen (WA-02) and Congressman Mark Veasey (TX-33) in introducing the America Votes Act, legislation to protect U.S. citizens who face disenfranchisement because of restrictive voter identification (ID) laws.

“Our democracy cannot function at its best until it accurately reflects the people it serves,” Brownley said. “Same-day voter registration is an important step that all states need to take to increase voter turnout, which will in turn secure better representation of our country.”
