Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill revises several provisions related to voter registration and the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) operations in Nevada. The bill changes the deadline for automatic voter registration to the eighteenth day before an election and requires automatic voter registration agencies to transmit voter information more quickly during the period leading up to an election. For voter registration during early voting or on election day, voters will now need to provide a current and valid driver's license or identification card from Nevada, another state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory, or a tribal identification card as proof of identity and residency. If a voter's identification does not show their current residential address, they may use various documents dated within 60 days to prove residency. The bill also mandates that in counties with populations of 100,000 or more (currently Clark and Washoe Counties), the DMV must extend its office hours during the two weeks before and six days after primary, presidential preference, and general elections, and cannot require appointments during these periods. These changes aim to make voter registration and identification more accessible and streamline the registration process around election times.
