HB 2242 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Creates provisions for automatic voter registration

This bill establishes a system for automatic voter registration in Missouri, allowing eligible citizens to be added to voter rolls without submitting a separate application. The process triggers when individuals interact with various state agencies, such as when applying for a driver's license, seeking unemployment benefits, or registering for university classes. Before finalizing registration, local election authorities must send a notice to the individual with a prepaid card to decline the registration if they do not wish to be included. Local officials retain the authority to verify eligibility and remove names from the rolls, ensuring that only qualified voters are added to the lists. The bill operates alongside existing registration methods and requires funding to cover the costs of implementation and verification.
