The first step to being able to cast your vote in an election is to register. But all too often, our systems make it challenging to ensure that registration goes correctly and your vote counts on the big day. Here, Nikki talks about the incredible impact automatic voter registration has and why it's so important for democracy.

She has spent the last decade running both issue and political campaigns, organized and lead voter registration drives, mobilized constituents on civil rights issues, and worked closely with elected officials and other entities to build policy. Nikki is the current Executive Director of the Oregon Bus Project where she empowers the next generation of Oregonians to take action. Currently she serves on the Oregon Women's Campaign School and the Women Investment Network Political Action Committee, and is working to build a pipeline of progressive leaders, expand voter access in Oregon, and ensure millennials have their voice amplified this November.
