Voter registration: California New Motor Voter Program.

Existing law requires the Secretary of State and the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish the California New Motor Voter Program for the purpose of increasing opportunities for voter registration. Pursuant to this program, existing law requires every driver's license application to include a voter registration application that consists of, among other things, an attestation that the applicant meets voter eligibility requirements. Under existing law, a person who attests to their eligibility to vote on the voter registration application will be registered to vote unless the voter affirmatively declines to register to vote. Existing law, until January 1, 2025, requires the Secretary of State to establish a taskforce of specified members that, among other tasks, must convene for meetings at least quarterly and advise the Secretary of State and the department on effective implementation of the California New Motor Voter Program. This bill would extend the operation of the taskforce until January 1, 2030.
