IN RE: U. S. Senate Bills S-250 and 5-921, (Support NACo Position) AMENDING THE RATIONAL VOTER
REGISTRATION ACT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS 5-250, which is likely to be considered by the full U. S. Senate before the summer
recess in August, would mandate substantial costs to state, county and local governments for voter
registration enhancements, but the bill gives no consideration to whether governmental units are
currently doing a good job of registering voters nor whether they have the resources to fund such
requirements; and .
WHEREAS this bill would require voter registration in state and local government offices
such as schools, libraries, revenue offices, unemployment stations and public assistance offices, as
well as mandating mail -in registration and registration in connection with driver license
applications and renewals; and
WHEREAS 5-250 would also permit any private businesses that sell governmental licenses,
Including hunting and fishing, to register voters; and
WHEREAS NACo opposses 5-250 both because of the potential high cost of the mandated voter
registration enhancements to state, county and local governments and also because the wide range of
registration opportunities might create an environment for increased voter fraud; and
WHEREAS NACia supports 5-921, an alternative to 5-250, which would provide $25 million over
three years to state and local governments on a matching plan to implement voter registration
enhancements on a permissive basis.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
NACo position, opposing 5-250 anc supporting 5e921.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the Michigan
Congressional Delegation and to the County's Legislative Agent,
