New Federal Policy Prohibits Voter Registration on Veterans' Administration Properties

A new policy by the Veterans' Administration now prohibits voter registration activities on federal VA properties.

Are we going to sit by and let the men who fought for our country and who are not able to leave VA facilities due to disabilities or injuries be denied access to vote?

Here are news articles on the topic:

A Few Possible Actions you Might Take:

If you are a League of Women Voters' member ask your local LWV to sign on to a letter that the national LWV, US is sending to the chief elections officer in every state asking them to remedy this situation.

Ask your local Vets group what they think.

Ask your local State Election Official what they plan to do about it or ask them to take the same actions that the CT or WA Secretaries of State took.

Alert your local press.

Contact your local VA hospital and ask them what their position is.
