By Nebraska Radio Network

(NRN)-- Secretary of State John Gale notes Nebraska will become the 24th state to allow online voter registration on Tuesday, National Voter Registration Day. Secretary of State John Gale says Nebraska is certainly part of the national trend and on the front end of the trend.

Gale says his office studied online registration for one and a half years before backing the legislation.

He's encouraged by reports from the states of Washington and Arizona that online registration has not only increased the number of registered voters, but also participation.

Gale hopes online registration encourages young people to vote more often saying he thinks the new registrations are going to be coming on sooner and earlier in the life of these young people and they are going to be committing themselves to becoming a voter.
