"Motor Voter Registration Act"; create.
SB 2055, the "Motor Voter Registration Act," would have allowed Mississippi residents to register to vote or update their registration when applying for, renewing, or changing the address on a driver's license or state ID card. It required the Department of Public Safety to collect specific voter registration details (like name, address, and date of birth) during these transactions and forward completed applications to county election officials, unless the applicant opted out. The bill included an opt-out procedure, ensured data confidentiality, and allowed automatic updates to existing registrations or address changes. The bill was referred to the Elections Committee but died there on February 3, 2026, and was never enacted.
