Bill > SB443A

This bill revises voter registration procedures in Nevada, focusing on registration methods and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) operations during election periods. The bill requires the DMV to provide extended hours of operation in counties with populations over 100,000 (currently Clark and Washoe counties) during the two weeks before voter registration deadlines and the six days following primary, presidential preference, and general elections. Voters will now need to provide a current and valid driver's license or identification card from Nevada, another state, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, or a tribal identification card as proof of identity when registering to vote in person during early voting or on election day. If a voter's ID does not show their current residential address, they can provide additional documentation like utility bills, bank statements, or paychecks (dated within 60 days) to prove residency. Voters without acceptable identification can still cast a provisional ballot by completing a written affirmation, but must provide valid identification to the county or city clerk by 5 p.m. the Friday after the election for their ballot to be counted. The bill also prohibits the DMV from requiring appointments during these specified periods and includes an appropriation of $15,449 for additional security services during extended hours.
