Overview

Directs the Secretary of State (SOS) to maintain and operate the driver license voter registration system with a committee of county recorders.

History

Any person who applies for a driver license or renewal and who is otherwise qualified to register to vote will, at the same time and place, be allowed to register to vote by providing the information prescribed by statute. Upon completion of a form that contains the information prescribed in statute and on receipt of that form by the county recorder from the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the applicant is presumed to be properly registered to vote.

At least every two years, ADOT and the SOS must consult regarding voter registration at driver license offices. Within five days after receipt of a completed registration, ADOT is required to return or mail completed registrations to the county recorder of the county in which the applicant resides (A.R.S. § 16-112).
