Elections; establish procedure for automatic registration of voters.
HB 732 would allow Mississippi residents to register to vote automatically when applying for, renewing, or updating a driver's license or state ID at the Department of Public Safety. It requires collecting basic personal information (name, address, date of birth, etc.) during these transactions, with an opt-out option for those who decline registration. If not opted out, the Department forwards the information to the Secretary of State for voter registration processing. The bill does not change voter eligibility requirements but streamlines registration through existing DMV interactions. This bill died in committee on February 4, 2025.
