SB5112 automatically registers enhanced driver’s license or identicard applicants to vote.
The Washington State House of Representatives passed SB5112 on April 7, 2023 by a vote of 57 to 40. We have assigned pluses to the nays because automatic voter registration may increase the risk of voter fraud and compromise the integrity of elections. Individuals should take the initiative to register to vote, as it is a civic responsibility, but automatic registration can lead to inaccuracies in voter rolls.
