The bill proposes the repeal of sections 115.145 and 115.205 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri and enacts four new sections, including updated provisions for voter registration, particularly aimed at new residents. Key changes include the requirement for election authorities to provide a packet of information for landlords and realtors that includes a voter registration form, instructions, and guidance for adults already registered to vote in the county regarding filing a change of address. Additionally, the bill mandates that each election authority must conduct voter registration throughout the year and retain voter registration records for a minimum of two years. Furthermore, the bill introduces new regulations for voter registration solicitors, requiring individuals who are compensated for soliciting more than ten voter registration applications to register with the Secretary of State. This includes providing personal information and an affirmation of the truthfulness of their statements. Failure to comply with these registration requirements can result in a class three election offense. The bill aims to streamline the voter registration process and ensure compliance with state regulations while enhancing accessibility for new residents.
