The proposed "Motor Voter Act" amends Section 34-404 of the Idaho Code to facilitate the registration of eligible voters at driver's licensing offices. Under the new provisions, the Idaho Transportation Department, through the Division of Motor Vehicles, will register eligible electors who apply for the issuance, renewal, or correction of any type of driver's license or identification card. Completed registration applications will be forwarded to the county clerk's office on a weekly basis, and applicants will have the option to opt out of this registration process.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing structure of the registration process by renumbering sections and clarifying the handling of political party affiliations. It ensures that the poll book for primary elections includes the party affiliation or unaffiliated designation of each elector, allowing unaffiliated voters to declare their preferred primary ballot. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, due to an emergency declaration.
