Introduced Text

Automatic voter registration on South Carolina driver's licenses and state ID applications.

South Carolina S0178 amends the state code to integrate voter registration with driver's license and state ID applications. The bill mandates that each application for a state ID or driver's license, including renewals, serves as an application for voter registration. The Department of Motor Vehicles must include a voter registration form with each application. Failure to sign the voter registration portion of the application is considered a declination to register.
