This bill mandates that the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) provide applicants for driver's licenses and nondriver identification cards with the opportunity to register to vote at the time of application or renewal. Specifically, it introduces a new section, RSA 654:7-d, which requires the DMV to supply each applicant who has verified their age, citizenship, identity, and domicile with a voter registration form and information on voter eligibility requirements. The DMV is also tasked with collecting completed voter registration forms and transmitting them to the Secretary of State on a weekly basis, with specific deadlines set before primary and general elections. Additionally, the Secretary of State is responsible for forwarding these forms to the appropriate local clerks for verification.

The bill does not allocate funding or authorize new positions to support its implementation, which is expected to incur costs for both the DMV and the Secretary of State's office. The Secretary of State anticipates needing additional staff to manage the voter registration process, along with costs for postage and legal staffing to draft necessary rules. The Department of Safety also estimates additional expenses for staff training and courier services to transport completed forms. Overall, while the bill aims to streamline voter registration, it raises concerns regarding the financial implications and resource allocation necessary for its execution.
