Repeals provisions prohibiting paying individuals to solicit voter registration applications

This bill removes a restriction that previously prevented individuals from being paid to ask for voter registration applications in Missouri. Under the new rules, people who solicit more than ten applications must register with the Secretary of State as a "voter registration solicitor," provided they are at least 18 years old and are already registered voters. Those who register must submit specific details, including their name, addresses, and whether they expect to be paid, along with the name of the person paying them if applicable. Failure to register knowingly is classified as a minor election offense, but the bill ensures that voter registration applications remain valid even if the solicitor fails to register or provides false information.
