Issue Position: Expand Access to the Ballot Box

Issue Position

Everyday Marylanders shouldn't have to go out of their way to register to vote and engage in the political process. Data shows that people who vote are more engaged in their local communities, have better job outcomes, and show a greater satisfaction with their surrounding areas. For these reasons, Jazz believes we need to do more to expand voting to communities that are too often shut out, including renters, young professionals, and low-income seniors. Jazz is committed to supporting legislation that would allow automatic voter registration when a resident becomes eligible to register to vote.
