Miscellaneous Resolution # 84 179
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - John E. Olsen, Chairperson
RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 5453 WHICH PROVIDES FOR ELECTION
DAY VOTER REGISTRATION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHER7.AS, House Bill 5453 provides that a person who
has resided in a precinct less than 30 days may appear at
the precinct on election day, register to vote and then vote; and
WHEREAS, election officials are designated in HB 5453
to conduct the registration but this could cause undue confusion
as election officials are usually busy with their regular
election day responsibilities; and
WHEREAS, the possibility of fraud would be more
prevelant if election officials were required to process 11th
hour voter registrations while attending to other election
day matters; and
WHEREAS, prospective voters have ample opportunity to
register either in their own municipalities or through the
Secretary of State's Office so there is no need to open a new
door and create confusion in the process.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners takes a position opposing HB 5453.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution
be sent to all legislators from Oakland County and to the
legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
