What is AVR?

Automated Verification and Registration (AVR) is a commonsense solution to securing our elections. With AVR, voting registration systems are modernized and updated to be faster, cheaper, and easier to maintain. This video explains how AVR secures our elections.

Automated Verification & Registration

Seamless voter registration and updates.

Cost-savings through modernization.

Protection from foreign influence and hacking.

State-based and independent of the federal government.

“If you are someone who is concerned about election integrity and preventing fraud, [AVR] is one of the absolute best ways possible to prevent fraud.”

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R)

"At the same time that [AVR] makes registering more convenient, it also improves the registration system and reduces opportunities for voter fraud. That’s a winning combination that I fully support."

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)

“This is good bipartisan legislation…[AVR] addresses the fundamental fact that the right to vote is foundational for the rights of Americans in our Democracy."

Former Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner (R)

“Georgia is the national leader in both voter registration and voter accessibility. This didn’t happen overnight, but is the culmination of years of decisions…done as Republican initiatives with bipartisan support.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R)

“[AVR] is an obvious fit for us. We should take advantage of any opportunity to cut waste and stop forcing people to fill out more and more forms.”

U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK)

Your vote is your voice here in Oregon and we were proud to be the first state in the nation to pass [AVR]. This policy protects the integrity of our elections and provides an accurate, safe and modern system to protect all eligible voters.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown (D)

“Times of turbulence and upheaval like the one we Georgians face require decisive action if the liberties we hold so dear are to be preserved....the people of Georgia...have fought too long and too hard for their right to vote to have it curtailed.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R)
