New Jersey Governor Signs Automatic Voter Registration Into Law

Today, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed into law an Automatic Voter Registration bill (AVR), making New Jersey the 11th state in the country to implement AVR by law. Let America Vote President Jason Kander made the following statement:

“New Jersey became a leader in free, fair and secure elections today. Gov. Phil Murphy was one of the first candidates that Let America Vote ever endorsed, and he’s proof that when you elect pro-democracy governors, you get stronger protections for voting rights. Implementing Automatic Voter Registration will improve security and access to the ballot for all eligible voters in New Jersey, and it’s a step forward for our country’s democracy.”
