The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), Demos and Project Vote's new report, Ten Years Later: A Promise Unfulfilled, finds that ten years after NVRA -- the motor voter bill -- was adopted, most states have failed to adequately implement requirements that public assistance agencies offer clients voter registration applications. Since 1995, voter registration applications from public assistance agencies nationwide have declined by 59.6%, while applications from all other sources have increased by 22%. 36 of 41 states reporting show a decline in registration applications from public assistance agencies since 1995. The low turnout of low income voters is reflected by this failure.
