HB 702 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates provisions for automatic voter registration

HB 702 creates automatic voter registration for eligible individuals when they interact with specific state services, such as applying for a driver's license, social services, university enrollment, or unemployment benefits. The bill requires state agencies to share eligible individuals' information with the secretary of state, who then sends nonbinding registration recommendations to local election offices. Voters can opt out by returning a postage-paid postcard within one month; otherwise, their name is added to the voter list. This system works alongside existing registration methods and does not replace current processes. The bill mandates verification procedures to ensure only eligible voters are registered.
