I support this proposal because voters deserve clear, accurate, and timely information about how to participate in elections. Voting laws change, sometimes frequently, and those changes can be confusing even for highly engaged voters. When people are unsure about requirements, deadlines, or procedures, they may make mistakes or choose not to vote at all. A centralized voter education program helps ensure that all voters—regardless of background, age, or experience—have equal access to the information they need. Requiring the Secretary of State to lead this effort promotes consistency, accuracy, and public trust. As the state’s chief election official, the Secretary of State is best positioned to provide nonpartisan, reliable guidance on voting rules and recent changes. This reduces misinformation and ensures voters are receiving information from an authoritative source. A voter education program also supports election integrity. When voters understand the rules, ballots are cast correctly, fewer errors occur, and election officials can focus on administering elections rather than resolving avoidable issues. An informed electorate is essential to a healthy democracy. This proposal strengthens transparency, access, and confidence in our elections, and I urge support.
