This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 16.1-02 of the North Dakota Century Code, focusing on the registration of voters. It establishes that qualified electors must register in their election precinct to vote in statewide elections and outlines various methods for registration, including by mail, in person at the county auditor's office, and on the day of the election. The bill specifies that registration by mail is allowed at any time except during the thirty days leading up to an election, and it provides additional provisions for registering while applying for or renewing a driver's license or public assistance.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Secretary of State adopt rules regarding the registration process and the forms used for voter registration, which must include essential information such as the elector's name, address, and date of birth. It also emphasizes that political party affiliation will not be indicated on the registration form and that the registration of a qualified elector is permanent, subject to the rules set by the Secretary of State. The bill aims to streamline the voter registration process and enhance the accessibility of voting in North Dakota.
