Same Day Voter Registration Resolution

WHEREAS, voter participation and self-governance are encouraged and protected by allowing eligible voters to register to vote at polling places in the precinct where they reside on any election day and to vote on the same day that they register ("same-day registration"); and

WHEREAS, sufficient safeguards can be enacted to adequately protect against election fraud while still permitting same-day registration.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the NAACP supports efforts to institute same-day voter registration for all elections at the federal, state and local level.
