Vote at Home Act of 2023
The Vote at Home Act of 2023 would require states to mail ballots to all registered voters for federal elections at least two weeks before election day, eliminate unnecessary barriers to voting by mail (like notary requirements), and provide free postage for mailed ballots. It also establishes automatic voter registration through state motor vehicle departments, where individuals applying for driver's licenses would be automatically registered to vote unless they opt out within 21 days. These provisions aim to increase voting accessibility for all voters, particularly people with disabilities, rural voters, and those with scheduling conflicts. The bill would take effect for federal elections beginning in 2024, with automatic voter registration taking effect 180 days after enactment. The legislation focuses on expanding voting options through mail-in voting and simplified registration processes.
