Iowa HF290 establishes a process for automatic voter registration using electronic records from state agencies.

Iowa HF290 revises voter registration procedures by allowing automatic registration of eligible electors based on electronic records from state agencies. The bill mandates that the state registrar of voters transmit electronic records and signatures to county commissioners of registration. If a person is deemed an eligible elector and not already registered, the commissioner must notify them of options to decline registration or declare a political party affiliation. If no decline is made within 21 days, the person is registered to vote.
