Starkville High School AP Government Class of 2019 Motor Voter Act; create procedure for automatic registration of voters.

HB 680, the "Starkville High School AP Government Class of 2019 Motor Voter Act," would have allowed Mississippi residents to automatically register to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state ID card. The bill required the Department of Public Safety to collect basic personal information (like name, address, and date of birth) during these transactions and forward it to election officials for voter registration processing, unless the applicant opted out. It directly affected all Mississippi residents interacting with the driver’s license or ID office, streamlining voter registration by linking it to routine state ID procedures. The bill included provisions for updating existing registrations, maintaining confidentiality, and allowing future opt-in registration attempts after an initial opt-out. (Note: The bill died in committee on 2026-02-03.)
