HB 301 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Eliminates the requirement for voter application solicitors to register with the secretary of state

HB 301 eliminates the requirement for people who collect voter registration applications (excluding government entities) to register with Missouri's secretary of state. Currently, those collecting more than 10 applications per election cycle must submit personal details, sign an oath, and face penalties for non-compliance. The bill directly affects non-governmental individuals or groups gathering voter registrations, removing all registration, disclosure, and penalty provisions. This change simplifies the process for these solicitors while maintaining that applications remain valid if otherwise complete. The bill removes specific administrative requirements without altering voter registration eligibility or application processing rules.
