HB 28 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

Online voter registration; authorize for first-time registrants.

HB 28 allows first-time voters in Mississippi to register online using a secure state website. It requires applicants to provide a valid Mississippi driver's license or photo ID number, which the system verifies against Department of Public Safety records for name, date of birth, and citizenship. The bill affects Mississippi residents who are new to voter registration and need to use online tools instead of paper forms. It also updates election laws to require the Secretary of State and DMV to share data securely and handle rejected applications similarly to paper submissions.
