Bill > H540

This bill establishes election day voter registration, allowing eligible citizens to register and vote on the same day of an election by appearing in person at their polling place, completing a registration application, providing proof of residency (such as a driver's license or utility bill), and taking an oath affirming their eligibility. The bill also adjusts the closing time for voter registration to 5:00 PM on the last day to register and mandates that registrars hold continuous sessions during specific hours on that final registration day, with shorter hours for smaller towns. Furthermore, it creates an advisory committee to study the implementation of election day registration, including the feasibility of providing real-time electronic access to voter lists at all polling locations, and requires this committee to submit reports with recommendations.
