Establishes the "Missouri Voter Fraud Protection Act"

HB 1686 establishes the Missouri Voter Fraud Protection Act, which defines specific actions like voting multiple times or paying others to register as serious election offenses while clarifying that system errors do not constitute crimes unless false information was knowingly provided. The bill also implements automatic voter registration by requiring state agencies such as the Department of Revenue and the Department of Social Services to share citizen data with the Secretary of State when individuals apply for services. Under this process, eligible citizens will be automatically registered to vote unless they explicitly decline within forty-five days of receiving a notification letter. The legislation mandates that participating agencies collect specific personal details to facilitate this registration and includes provisions ensuring that a person's decision to register or not does not affect their access to government services.
