Mondale Election Reform Aims to Boost Voter Participation
The Carter Administration study proposes five core changes to election laws to raise turnout. It includes universal voter registration, strengthened campaign financing rules, and easier registration to motivate participation.
Federal election reform plan proposed with universal registration
The proposal would let F M L travel to polling places on federal election days and register with proof of eligibility while state and local officials run registration and elections. It would extend public campaign financing, require substantial public support, and strengthen the Federal Election Campaign Act with shared reporting systems. A direct popular election of the president is urged, and the Hatch Act would be revised to broaden federal employee participation on nonwork time. States would face universal registration for federal elections, but not for state or local elections.
