Online voter registration; authorize for first-time registrants.
HB 33 would have allowed first-time Mississippi voters to register online using a secure state website, provided they have a current Mississippi driver's license or photo ID. The bill required the online system to verify applicants' ID numbers, names, birth dates, and citizenship against Mississippi Department of Public Safety records before submission. It would have applied directly to first-time voters meeting these ID requirements, replacing paper registration forms for this group. The bill also updated related election laws to align with this online registration process. (Note: The bill died in committee in February 2026.)
