\u00a0Letter: \u201cVote.gov serves as the primary federal resource for voters to register to vote, check their voter registration status, and find voting information.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Washington, D.C. \u2013 Oregon\u2019s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Alex Padilla (D-CA), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) led a group of 13 Senators in a letter to U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Administrator Robin Carnahan regarding GSA\u2019s implementation of President Biden\u2019s 2021 Executive Order<\/a>. The letter requests updates as the agency implements the Executive Order by modernizing Vote.gov to promote and increase voting access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe Voting Executive Order specifically instructed GSA to take steps to modernize and improve Vote.gov, an official website of GSA, in partnership with the Election Assistance Commission, agencies, and key stakeholders. The Executive Order\u2019s section on vote.gov modernization requires the website (as well as the forms on it) to become accessible to people with disabilities, accessible to people who speak non-English languages, and \u2013to the extent possible \u2013 fully usable as an online experience,\u201d wrote the senators.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With many federal agencies directing their users to Vote.gov, the letter highlights how the success of the administration\u2019s efforts to promote voting hinge on the modernization and accessibility of the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cVote.gov serves as the primary federal resource for voters to register to vote, check their voter registration status, and find voting information. These services are essential to the one in four eligible voters who are not registered to vote,\u201d the letter continues.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Senators applaud the actions GSA has taken so far to implement the voting executive order\u2014actions like translating voter information into 16 additional languages. The Senators emphasized the urgency and significance of swiftly continuing this progress and promptly implementing further changes needed to improve Vote.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, the Senators asked GSA respond to the following requests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) A complete outline of GSA\u2019s implementation plan of the voting executive order;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) An accompanying status update and timeline on their execution and\/or implementation; and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) The date the Administration expects the implementation and Vote.gov modernization to be substantially complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining Merkley, Klobuchar, Padilla, and Van Hollen in sending this letter are U.S. Senators Laphonza Butler (D-CA), Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Peter Welch (D-VT), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), and Cory Booker (D-NJ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merkley has been a fierce, longtime advocate for safeguarding elections and protecting voters\u2019 rights. Merkley is a leader of the Freedom to Vote Act<\/em> and an original cosponsor of the Preventing Election Subversion Act<\/a><\/u>. <\/em>He has joined colleagues on legislation to protect election workers<\/a>, and has worked hard preventing election gambling tactics<\/a> from influencing U.S. elections and party control in Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full text of the letter can be found here<\/a> and follows below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Administrator Carnahan, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We write to request an update on your agency\u2019s implementation of President Biden\u2019s Executive Order 14019 to promote voting access by modernizing Vote.gov.1<\/sup>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Voting Executive Order specifically instructed GSA to take steps to modernize and improve Vote.gov, an official website of GSA, in partnership with the Election Assistance Commission, agencies, and key stakeholders. The Executive Order\u2019s section on vote.gov modernization requires the website (as well as the forms on it) to become accessible to people with disabilities, accessible to people who speak non-English languages, and \u2013to the extent possible \u2013 fully usable as an online experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of the administration\u2019s efforts to promote voting hinge on the success of this effort as many federal agencies are increasing voter access by directing their users to Vote.gov. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vote.gov serves as the primary federal resource for voters to register to vote, check their voter registration status, and find voting information. These services are essential to the one in four eligible voters who are not registered to vote.2<\/sup> Vote.gov currently states it \u201ccontinues to improve the site to meet the goals in President Biden\u2019s Executive Order… [which] include improving accessibility, translating voter tools into key languages, and enhancing search functionality on the website.\u201d3<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We applaud the actions GSA has taken thus far to implement the Voting Executive Order and expand voter registration access, such as by translating trustworthy voter information in 16 additional languages, including Chinese, Navajo, Hindi, and Tagalog.4<\/sup> We want to underscore the urgency and significance of swiftly continuing this progress and urge the GSA to promptly implement needed changes to Vote.gov. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voters continue to face challenges to access their fundamental right to vote. According to research conducted by the Brennan Center, 14 states enacted 17 restrictive voting laws in 2023.5<\/sup> North Carolina\u2019s law eliminates ballot drop boxes, restricts vote by mail, and makes it more likely that voters using same-day registration do not have their ballots counted. Idaho\u2019s law targets students by restricting commonly-used documentation by students to register to vote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We commend GSA for its efforts to promote voter registration and voting information access, and ask that you provide us, no later than March 1, 2024 with (1) a complete outline of GSA\u2019s implementation plan of the Voting Executive Order, (2) an accompanying status update and timeline on their execution and\/or implementation, and (3) the date the Administration expects the implementation and Vote.gov modernization to be substantially complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We thank you for your commitment to voters and appreciate your engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
