This part may be cited as the Automatic Voter Registration Act of 2019 . Congress finds that— the right to vote is a fundamental right of citizens of the United States; it is the responsibility of the State and Federal Governments to ensure that every eligible citizen is registered to vote; existing voter registration systems can be inaccurate, costly, inaccessible and confusing, with damaging effects on voter participation in elections and disproportionate impacts on young people, persons with disabilities, and racial and ethnic minorities; and voter registration systems must be updated with 21st Century technologies and procedures to maintain their security.
It is the purpose of this part— to establish that it is the responsibility of government at every level to ensure that all eligible citizens are registered to vote; to enable the State and Federal Governments to register all eligible citizens to vote with accurate, cost-efficient, and up-to-date procedures; to modernize voter registration and list maintenance procedures with electronic and Internet capabilities; and to protect and enhance the integrity, accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of the electoral process for all eligible citizens.
