Automatic voter registration bill clears Maryland Senate [View all]

[RandySF]

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Maryland Senate has passed a bill that would create automatic voter registration for people who are eligible and agree to be registered.

The Senate passed the measure 32-12 Friday. It now goes to the House.

The bill designates three state agencies to register a resident to vote or update a resident’s voter registration record, unless the applicant declines to register or is determined not to be eligible.

For example, if an eligible Maryland voter renews a driver’s license, the person would be informed they are being registered, unless they say no.
