Maryland General Assembly OKs Automatic Voter Registration

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland General Assembly has approved an automatic voter registration bill.
The House of Delegates voted 93-46 for the measure Wednesday. The Senate passed it 31-13.
The bill designates agencies to register residents to vote, unless the applicant declines to register or is determined not to be eligible. For example, if an eligible Maryland voter renews a driver’s license, the person would be informed they are being registered, unless they say no.
