Arizona voters’ rights groups and the Arizona Secretary of State reached a settlement agreement on Monday that will link voter registration systems to the Department of Transportation systems.
Katie Hobbs, who assumed office as Secretary of State on Wednesday, settled the dispute between her office and several voting rights groups including The League of Women Voters of Arizona, Mi Familia Vota Education Fund and Promise Arizona, that claimed that the Arizona Secretary of States office was in noncompliance with the National Voter Registration Act’s “Motor Voter” law, which “requires states to provide individuals with the opportunity to vote at the same time that they apply for a driver’s license or seek to renew a driver’s license.”
