HB 1798 - DIGEST

Allows voter registration up to and on election day.

Requires the county auditors and the secretary of state to devise and implement a uniform statewide system that will allow for voter registration under RCW 29A.08.145 (late registration, special procedure) and protect ballot integrity beginning May 1, 2011. The system must provide for the sequestering of a ballot issued pursuant to RCW 29A.08.145 until the county auditor has verified the new voter registration by the secretary of state pursuant to RCW 29A.08.107 (review by secretary of state). Only after the verification of the new registration has been completed shall the ballot be tabulated.
