State Rep. David Rowe (R) wants to make it easier for sportsmen to register to vote

State Rep. David Rowe (R-Union) represents a lot of sportsmen in the rural 85th state House District, which includes parts of Union, Juniata, and Mifflin counties and all of Snyder County. He wants to see them more engaged with the electoral process and is planning on introducing legislation that aims to make it easier for them to register to vote.

The Sportsmen Voter Registration Act, which Rowe is dubbing the proposal, would ensure the availability of voter registration applications any time someone of voting age applies for a hunting or fishing license in Pennsylvania.

“Pennsylvania’s hunters and anglers are some of the most engaged citizens in our state, but too often their busy seasons in the field and on the water make it harder for them to register to vote,” Rowe wrote in a press release announcing the proposal. “This legislation ensures Pennsylvania sportsmen have greater access to voter registration, so they can have a voice in the policies that impact our land, wildlife, and way of life.”
