Section 434-324-031. Electronic voter registration.

(1) The secretary of state's electronic voter registration web page must have the capability to:

(a) Reject applicants without a Washington state driver's license or state identification card;

(b) Require the applicant to affirmatively assent to the use of his or her driver's license or state identification card signature for voter registration purposes;

(c) Require the applicant to attest to the truth of the information provided on the application;

(d) Retrieve a digital copy of each applicant's driver's license or state identification card signature from the department of licensing and include it with the other information required for each applicant's voter registration; and

(e) Electronically transfer all information required for each applicant's voter registration to his or her county auditor for entry into the statewide voter registration data base through the county election management system.

(2) Once election registration information is entered into county election management systems, the same timelines and processes used for registration by mail apply to electronic registration. A county auditor may allow voters registering in person at the county auditor's office between twenty-nine days before an election and eight days before an election to register using the electronic voter registration system.
