Bill > HB3468

This bill addresses voter registration procedures in Oregon by making several key changes. First, the bill prohibits county clerks from using information provided by the Department of Transportation (ODOT) or the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to update registration information for existing voters. This means that even if these state agencies have updated personal information, county clerks cannot automatically modify a voter's existing registration. Instead, the bill allows voters to update their own registration information by submitting a voter registration card through various methods, such as by mail, in person, or through an electronic voter registration system. The bill maintains existing provisions that require county clerks to register qualified persons and attempt to obtain missing information, but adds a specific provision preventing automatic updates to existing voter registrations using data from ODOT or OHA. The legislation also clarifies the process for registering to vote and updating voter information, ensuring that voters have control over their registration details. The bill will take effect 91 days after the end of the 2025 regular legislative session, providing a clear timeline for implementation of these new voter registration rules.
