HB 2042 -- VOTER REGISTRATION OF NEW RESIDENTS

SPONSOR: Weber

Currently, no person other than a governmental entity may be compensated to solicit voter registration applications.

This bill repeals that prohibition, requiring any person soliciting voter registration applications to register with the Secretary of State if he or she is being paid to do so by an entity other than a governmental entity, and to identify the payer.

This bill also requires landlords to provide new lessees and realtors to provide property purchasers with voter registration applications provided by the local election authority of the county in which the property is located.

This bill is the same as HB 955 (2023).
