This is the correct answer. Oregon was the first state in the U.S. to implement automatic voter registration in 2016. Under this system, eligible citizens are automatically registered to vote when they interact with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), unless they opt out. This has significantly increased voter registration in the state.
