Harley Rouda: “Each year, too many Americans lose their voter registration status when they move without updating their voter…”

“Each year, too many Americans lose their voter registration status when they move without updating their voter registration address. My amendment is a commonsense measure which directs the Postmaster General to include a notice on the Postal Service's hard copy change of address form simply reminding voters to update their voter registration following a change of address. The online change of address form on the Postal Service's website already includes a reminder to reregister with your new address. This amendment would simply ensure that voters who use the hard copy change of address form also get a reminder to update their voter registration. No one should be denied the right to vote simply because they forgot to update their voter registration address following a move. Mr. Chair, I urge adoption of this amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
