Individuals who properly complete applications for a new or renewed Minnesota driver's license, instruction permit, or identification card and are eligible to vote must be automatically registered unless they decline.

Driver's license applications must be modified to include all voter registration information and include a box for applicants to decline registration.

The commissioner of public safety must transmit registration information daily by electronic means to the secretary of state, unless the applicant declined or provided a non-residential address.

The secretary of state must verify applicants are at least 18 years old and U.S. citizens before registering them, and must wait until applicants under 18 turn 18 before determining eligibility.

Registration applications submitted during the 20 days before an election become effective the day after the election, and automatic voter registration cannot begin until both the commissioner of public safety and secretary of state certify their systems are tested and capable.
