Elections; establish procedure for automatic registration of certain voters who apply for driver's license or register for selective service.
HB 667 would automatically register Mississippi residents to vote when they apply for, renew, or update a driver's license or state ID card, provided they qualify to vote. Applicants would need to provide basic personal details (name, address, date of birth, etc.) and could opt out if they chose not to register. The Department of Public Safety would collect this information and send it to election officials within five days, with an opt-out option requiring a clear affirmative decline. This bill directly affects anyone applying for a Mississippi driver's license or ID card who is eligible to vote. It does not change voting eligibility rules but creates a new, streamlined registration process through the DMV.
