Voting rights advocates and Nevada officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding, to streamline and modernize voter registration through the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles . They worked with Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske’s office to develop a protocol and timeline for bringing Nevada into compliance with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. The federal Motor Voter Law, requires that voter registration be offered as part of a simultaneous process with a driver’s license or state ID card application, renewal, or change of address. Secretary Cegavske says by developing a system that will automatically transmit voter registration information from the Department of Motor Vehicles to county election officials, the parties have significantly improved Nevada’s voter registration process by adding additional efficiencies and safeguards.
