This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 16.1-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, which outlines the registration process for voters. It establishes that qualified electors must register in their election precinct to vote in statewide elections and allows for registration by mail, in person, or on the day of the election. The bill specifies that registration by mail must be completed at least thirty days before an election, while in-person registration can occur up to the day before the election. Additionally, it allows individuals to register when applying for or renewing a driver's license, providing a notice of change of name or address, or applying for public assistance.

The bill also mandates that the Secretary of State adopt rules regarding the registration process and the forms used for voter registration. It requires the county auditor to register individuals upon receipt of a properly completed registration form and emphasizes that political party affiliation will not be indicated on the registration form. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the registration of a qualified elector is permanent, subject to the rules established by the Secretary of State, and outlines the cooperation between the Secretary of State and the Department of Transportation in developing voter registration forms.
