Question

What are three ways that voter turnout might be increased?

Answer 1

Answer:

Expand voter registration opportunities

The Native American Voting Rights Coalition, led by the Native American Rights Fund, recently found that nearly 1 in 3 American Indians are not registered to vote. Respondents to its survey reported “a lack of information on how or where to register” as the primary reason for not registering. The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) requires departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) and other social service agencies to provide registration assistance to clients. In the same survey, however, American Indians in multiple states reported high rates of noncompliance among these agencies.
