MissouriModifies provisions relating to voter registration
What it does
SCS/SB 983 - Current law requires the Secretary of State and the Director of the Department of Revenue (DOR) to enter into an agreement to match information in the voter registration database with information in the motor vehicle system. This act requires such agreement to include information pertaining to the citizenship status of those within DOR's database.
More detail
This provision is identical to provisions in SCS/SB 986 (2026), SB 1772 (2026), HB 2125 (2026), HB 3227 (2026), HB 3263 (2026), and HB 3493 (2026).
Current law requires all applicants for a driver's license to be provided a voter registration application form simultaneously during the transaction. This act requires the Division of Motor Vehicle and Driver Licensing within the Department of Revenue to additionally determine whether an applicant for a driver's license has the requisite proof of citizenship needed to register to vote. Only customers who provide documentation demonstrating that the individual is a United States citizen shall be given the opportunity to register to vote. The Division is required to assist applicants who lack the requisite proof of citizenship needed to register to vote in obtaining such proof.
This provision is similar a provision in SB 1772 (2026) and the introduced SB 280 (2025). SCOTT SVAGERA
