automatic voter registration

HB 2037 automatically registers eligible Arizona residents to vote when they apply for or renew a driver's license (including non-operating ID) at the Department of Transportation, unless they opt out within 21 days. The bill requires minimal personal information to prevent duplicate registrations and securely transfers voter data to county recorders within five days. Applicants must receive clear information about voting eligibility and penalties for false registration before being registered. The law takes effect on December 31, 2026, directly affecting all Arizona residents interacting with driver's license services.
