The Automatic Voter Bill
Delaware bill tightens checks on automatic voter registrations
An Act To Amend Title 15 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Automatic Voter Registration Verification And Ongoing Eligibility Review.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the DMV must double‑check certain automatic voter registrations and may remove those who fail eligibility, after notifying the voter.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could lose their voting record if their old driver’s license doesn’t meet new checks, so they should watch for notices and be ready to prove eligibility now while the bill is still being debated.
