HB 6040 Summary

• Requires city, township, or village clerks or their assistants to be present at all polling places during voting hours to receive same-day voter registration applications.

• Removes the prohibition on voter registration on election day itself, enabling individuals who meet elector qualifications to register in person and vote in the same election.
