Bill > S1088

This bill, the Voter Registration Modernization Act, amends the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require all states to provide official public websites for online voter registration, allowing individuals to apply, receive assistance, and submit their applications electronically, including an electronic signature. It also mandates that states allow registered voters to update their information, such as their address and email, through these official websites. The bill directs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to study and report on best practices for implementing these online registration and update requirements, ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Furthermore, it allows registered voters who opt-in to receive election information via email instead of traditional mail, and the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) is authorized to provide annual payments to states to help them meet these new requirements and improve federal election administration.
