Take Action


Pass the Election Reform Bill in the Senate

It's been 20 years since Massachusetts updated its systems for registering voters and for ensuring vote counts are accurate.  The Election Laws Reform bill of 2012 passed in the State House with overwhelming support at the end of May.  But for this bill to become law, it must pass in the State Senate too.

Your action makes a difference. Tell the Senate to pass H4139 to:

  • Mandate random post-election audits to ensure that voting machines are working correctly and that your vote is counted accurately.
  • Let 16 and 17-year-olds pre-register to vote in Civics classes, youth groups, at the RMV, or their city or town hall, greatly increasing the number who will actually vote when they turn 18.
  • Let voters download and print out voter registration forms.
  • Improve training of election officers so they can better protect every citizen's right to vote.

Voting rights are under attack across the US.  Massachusetts is way behind.  It's time to lead the fight to protect the right to vote.
