Fifty-Seventh Legislature, First Regular Session
FACT SHEET FOR H.B. 2767
voter registrations; transportation department; recorders
Purpose
Effective January 1, 2026, requires the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to
send voter registration information to both the Secretary of State (SOS) and the appropriate county
recorder simultaneously.
Background
Pursuant to the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), states must provide a
voter registration application form for elections for federal office as part of an application for a
driver license. The voter registration application portion of a driver license application: 1) may not
require any duplicative information from an applicant's driver license form, with certain
exceptions; 2) may require only the minimum information necessary to prevent duplicate voter
registration and enable state election officials to assess the eligibility of the applicant; 3) must
include a statement that outlines each state's eligibility requirements, contains the applicant's
attestation of meeting such requirements, and requires the applicant's signature under penalty of
perjury; 4) must include outlined information relating to voter registration requirements and
confidentiality notifications; and 5) must be made available to the appropriate state election official
as provided in state law (52 U.S.C. 20504).
The Director of ADOT (Director) and the SOS must consult at least every two years
regarding voter registration at driver license offices to adopt rules regarding voter registration at
such offices, in consultation with all county recorders. The rules must: 1) provide for substantial
conformity between the license application and the voter registration; 2) allow for the transfer of
driver license information and voter registration information from ADOT to the voter registration
rolls; 3) respect all rules and statutes of Arizona concerning the confidentiality of driver license
application information; 4) provide for manual or electronic generation and transmittal of voter
registrations and other outlined information in conformity with NVRA. ADOT must also provide
each applicant a statement that provides each eligibility requirement for voting, including
citizenship, as well as other prescribed requirements according to NVRA (A.R.S. ยง 16-112).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.

4. Specifies that, except for voter registration purposes, this legislation does not preclude ADOT
from providing voter registration information to the SOS for purposes other than those
prescribed.
5. Stipulates that this legislation does not diminish or alter the duties of the SOS under state or
federal law regarding voter registration and election administration.
