During voter registration drives, volunteers or staff with organizations help people fill out voter registration forms, collect those forms, and submit them to election officials. Groups across the spectrum hold these drives. Theyโre common at political rallies, community events, college campuses and churches, and theyโre just about everywhere in election years.
House Bill 127 would make it a misdemeanor for voter registration drives to hand out real voter registration forms. It would only allow groups or individuals to hand out sample registration forms instead.
The measure would also require groups conducting voter registration drives to register with county boards of elections, disclosing the scope and date of their planned activities.
