Issue Position: Increasing Voter Engagement and Participation

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2018
Issues: Elections

Mia led the effort in the State House to pass a number of critical bills to increase voter engagement in the election process and make it easier for people to be engaged civically. These bills include the Voting Rights Act (Mia was the Prime House Sponsor!) which gives citizens the right to petition to ensure their local jurisdictions are more representative of the citizens. At the same time, she led in passing 16 and 17 year old pre-registration, and Election Day registration so people can still register on Election day.
