Five states have passed comprehensive voting rights legislation introducing same-day voter registration, extended polling hours, and automatic voter enrollment through DMV records.
New Voting Laws
- Michigan: same-day registration + 2 weeks early voting
- Pennsylvania: automatic registration via DMV
- North Carolina: extended hours to 9pm
- Arizona: same-day registration for all elections
- Wisconsin: online registration + mail ballot expansion
Voting rights advocates call it the most significant expansion of ballot access in a decade. Critics argue the measures could increase fraud risk, though studies consistently show same-day registration fraud rates below 0.001%.
