Bill > AB1407

This bill amends sections of the California Elections Code related to the California New Motor Voter Program. The key provisions are: 1. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) must report to the Secretary of State that an applicant has attested to meeting the voter preregistration requirements for individuals 16 years of age and older who otherwise meet all voter eligibility requirements. 2. The information provided by the DMV to the Secretary of State constitutes a completed voter registration or preregistration, and the Secretary must register or preregister the person to vote, with some exceptions. 3. The bill makes other conforming changes, such as allowing registered or preregistered voters to cancel their registration at any time, maintaining the confidentiality of voter information, and addressing the registration of ineligible individuals. 4. The Secretary of State must adopt regulations to implement the program, including a process for canceling the registration of ineligible individuals and conducting an education and outreach campaign in multiple languages.
