SF 38 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Voter registration information modification on applications for drivers' licenses and identification cards

This bill modifies Minnesota driver's license and ID card applications by adding a clear voter eligibility warning to all forms. It requires applicants to see the statement: "Only citizens of the United States are eligible to vote. If you are not a citizen, you are not eligible to vote..." (Minnesota Statutes 171.06, subd. 1). The change applies to every applicant for a standard license or ID card, directly affecting all Minnesotans applying for these documents. The bill does not alter voter registration procedures but ensures applicants receive this specific voting eligibility information during the application process.
