Same day voter registration (also known as election day registration) allows eligible citizens to register and vote on the same day. States that allow this have higher voter turnout averaging 7% more than states without same day registration. Same day registration also results in fewer provisional ballots, insignificant increased costs, and enhanced citizen participation without evidence of increased fraud. Nine states currently allow same day registration which benefits all voters, young people, minorities, and recent movers by removing barriers to participation.
