AR HB1753

Arkansas formally opts out of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (52 U.S.C. § 20501 et seq.), citing U.S. Supreme Court precedent that states are not required to participate in federal regulatory programs

Voter registration agencies (DMV offices, public assistance agencies, disability agencies, public libraries, Arkansas National Guard) will only provide registration applications and assistance upon explicit request from applicants, rather than automatically offering them

Removes requirements for agencies to provide declination forms, retain declination records for two years, or track the number of applicants who declined to register

Eliminates the automatic voter registration integration at driver's license offices and removes the requirement to offer registration during public assistance applications, recertifications, and renewals

Repeals the requirement that political party voter qualifications must comply with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993
