Issue Position: Making it Easier to Vote

Issue Position

Oregon led the nation in making it easier for all our citizens to participate in elections with our groundbreaking vote-by-mail system. But Val Hoyle believes even more can be done to increase voter participation and remove barriers.
That's why Val led the effort in the State House to pass a NEW Motor Voter law to automatically register Oregon drivers who are eligible to vote but who are not currently on the state's voter rolls. The updated process using DMV records will make voter registration simpler, more convenient and more secure.
Automatic motor voter registration will dramatically expand access to Oregon elections. The new law could add as many as 300,000 Oregonians to the voter rolls. For Val, this isn't a partisan issue. It's about removing unnecessary, outdated barriers to voting and making sure every eligible voter has a chance to cast a ballot.
