Wolf wants to make registration easier
HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf wants legislation to let people register to vote on the day of elections and loosen strict rules for absentee ballots.
Wolf said everyone who gets a license from the state Department of Transportation or signs up for a public service should be automatically registered to vote, unless they specifically opt out.
Wolf’s wish list from the Legislature also includes limits on how much donors can contribute to political candidates and improvements to how donations are reported. He favors having an independent commission draw political boundary lines.
The Senate State Government Committee plans to examine redistricting bills Tuesday.
