SB81

SB81 amends Hawaii law to implement automatic voter registration for eligible applicants.

SB81 amends Hawaii Revised Statutes to streamline voter registration by integrating it with applications for driver's licenses, state identification cards, and Medicaid. Eligible applicants, who meet age, residency, and citizenship requirements, will automatically be registered to vote when they apply for or renew a driver's license or state ID. The bill also mandates that the Department of Human Services automatically register eligible Medicaid applicants. Applicants can opt out of voter registration during the application process.
