Online voter registration; authorize and establish the process for.
HB 593 authorizes online voter registration for first-time voters in Mississippi, requiring applicants to provide a valid Mississippi driver's license or photo ID and submit applications at least 30 days before an election. The bill establishes a secure online process where applicants' information (name, date of birth, ID number) is automatically verified against state records maintained by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. County registrars must review applications within 14 days, approve or reject them based on verification results, and mail written notifications to approved applicants. This bill directly affects first-time voters seeking to register online, streamlining the process while maintaining verification requirements.
