Election Law - Enhanced Automatic Voter Registration System

HB 1113 requires Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) to automatically register eligible residents to vote when they apply for or renew a driver's license or ID card, unless they explicitly decline. It mandates that the MVA send voter registration details to the State Board of Elections within 5 days and provide a clear notice explaining voter qualifications, penalties for false applications, and the option to decline registration. The notice must also clarify that declining registration won't affect access to services and that unaffiliated voters cannot participate in party primaries. This applies primarily to MVA transactions (like driver's license renewals), with potential future expansion to other agencies like health exchanges, but excludes individuals in certain confidentiality programs unless they choose to register.
