This week's question was, How many states are considering legislation that deals with voter registration?

You answered: 37
That's correct!

There were 370 active bills in 2024 state legislative sessions in 37 states that deal with voter registration as of February 15. Of these bills, 213 were introduced since the beginning of the year, while the remainder were carried over from last year’s sessions.

Democratic legislators have introduced the majority of voter registration bills (191) across all states, and more voter registration bills have been introduced in Democratic trifecta states than in states with Republican trifectas or divided governments.

Bills related to voter registration are classified into five distinct categories, with certain bills included in more than one grouping:

• Automatic voter registration
• Availability of state voter files
• Same-day/Election day registration
• Voter list maintenance
• Voter registration
