Bill > HB3723

This bill modifies Oregon's voter registration procedures by eliminating the automatic transfer of voter registration data from the Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to the Secretary of State. Specifically, the bill repeals previous provisions that allowed for automatic voter registration for individuals who are at least 16 years old through these agencies. Instead, the bill maintains a process where individuals can voluntarily register to vote at ODOT offices when applying for or renewing a driver's license or state identification card. The bill requires ODOT personnel to inform eligible individuals about voter registration and ask if they would like to register to vote, but removes the previous automatic registration mechanism. The legislation maintains the electronic voter registration system for those with valid Oregon driver licenses, permits, state identification cards, or Social Security numbers. Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, which means it will take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature, emphasizing the urgent nature of the changes to the state's voter registration process.
