How do 'motor voter' laws work?

Thea Brodkin (Voter Service Chair) gives expert video advice on: Why do I have to register to vote?; How do I register to vote?; Do I ever have to re-register to vote? and more...

We want people to participate in election processes so we wanted to make it easy as possible. When people move, the first thing they do, they worry about getting their car registered in the new state they are living in. So we said "Why aren't people able to register to vote when they change their car registration?" So we fought very hard for that, and now when you register your car there is a thing you can check off that you want to register to vote and you have to sign a thing and then you can register right at the DMV in the same process.
