The bill H. 3459 aims to amend various sections of the South Carolina Code of Laws concerning voter registration processes and regulations. It introduces a new section, 7-5-290, which mandates that organizations conducting voter registration drives must register with the State Election Commission and comply with specific requirements. Additionally, it amends existing sections to clarify the definition of "domicile" for voting purposes, enhance the duties of the State Election Commission's executive director to include oversight of third-party voter registration organizations, and require more detailed reporting from clerks regarding individuals convicted of election-related offenses and those who indicate they are not U.S. citizens in response to juror summonses.

Furthermore, the bill increases penalties for false swearing in voter registration applications and establishes new penalties for individuals who fill out another person's voter registration application without their knowledge. It also requires applicants to provide their driver's license or state ID number or, if unavailable, their social security number on voter registration applications. The bill aims to strengthen the integrity of the voter registration process and ensure compliance with established regulations.
