                           VOTER REGISTRATION

  (Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight one of the most 
important rights American citizens have, and that is voting.
  Tomorrow is the deadline in Oregon to register to vote in our 
upcoming primaries, and Oregonians should make sure they register so 
that they can make their voices heard. They can find out where and how 
to update their information on Oregon's secretary of state website, but 
now the President is trying to make registering less accessible and 
voting by mail harder.
  Mr. Speaker, I just won't stand for it. We voted by mail for almost 
30 years in Oregon, and it was a bipartisan initiative when it was 
enacted. We know that it is safe, secure, and effective. I won't let 
this President or my colleagues silence our voices. Your voice is your 
vote, and your vote is your voice, and everyone should use it at the 
ballot box.
