– Thank you Governor Wolf for bringing Pennsylvania’s voter registration into the the 21st century. Online voter registration became a reality for Pennsylvania voters this week. The online registration application, hosted by the Department of State, is now available for use by eligible citizens at register.votesPA.com.

We fully support this initiative as one of the many improvements to make it easier and efficient for people to register and to vote in every election. This will help improve citizen participation which will strengthen our democracy. We encourage everyone to vote no matter whether you are blue red or purple.” President Bloomingdale said.

“What a contrast to just a few years ago when we were fighting to protect the right to vote from an “ALEC sponsored” Voter ID law that disenfranchises hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania voters. Now we have a Governor who believes as we do that our democracy is stronger when people vote and hold their elected officials accountable,” Secretary-Treasurer Snyder said.
