What this bill does

Provides that a person who applies for, renews, or updates an enhanced driver's license or enhanced state identification card at the Department of Licensing (DOL) is automatically registered to vote, and they may subsequently decline to register in writing, rather than being given the opportunity to decline to register to vote while at the DOL. Makes minor administrative or technical changes to provisions of law related to voter registration, inactive and cancelled voters, and voter registration challenges.
