LWVMA supports a Yes vote on Question 4.

Question 4 on the November ballot would eliminate the arbitrary requirement that people register to vote at least 10 days before an election. If Question 4 passes, eligible citizens would be able to register at their polling place on Election Day with proof of residency and an affidavit of eligibility.

Importantly, Question 4 also benefits existing voters who find a problem with their registration when they get to the polls. They may have moved or changed their name, or there may be a typo in the voter rolls. Under current law, those voters now must cast provisional ballots, which can take days to tally and are often rejected for technical reasons. If Question 4 passes, they could update their registration on the spot and cast a regular ballot.

As a nonpartisan political organization, LWVMA does not endorse political parties or candidates, but does advocate for issues that the organization has studied and taken a position on after consensus from members.  Review how the LWVMA Board voted HERE.
