Assembly Bill 920 mandates the Wisconsin Elections Commission to facilitate the automatic registration of all eligible voters in the state by July 1, 2029. The bill requires the Commission to collaborate with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to electronically transfer personally identifiable information necessary for voter registration. This information will be used to maintain the registration of eligible voters while ensuring confidentiality. Individuals will have the option to opt out of having their information shared with the Commission, and they can request to have their names added to or removed from the voter registration list.

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for the Commission to resolve discrepancies in voter information and mandates that individuals be notified by mail if their registration status changes. It also requires the Commission to report to the legislature by July 1, 2028, on the progress of implementing this automatic registration system and the potential integration of voter registration information with data from other state agencies. The bill amends existing statutes to reflect these changes and establishes new provisions to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of voter registration in Wisconsin.
