Governor Robert Bentley signed an agreement this morning to avoid a lawsuit over noncompliance with the 1993 Motor Voter Act. APR Student reporter Kendall Worman has more...
The law is designed to make it easier to register to vote and requires driver license applications to be treated as a voter registration form. Bentley says the state agreed to make adjustments to the driver’s license process to make sure people are registered as required. The U.S. Department of Justice threatened to sue Alabama for not complying with the act earlier this year. Alabama's Secretary of State John Merrill says the state has already made improvements to voter registration in the state. "We've initiated a number of positive changes in regard to voter registration and voter ID availability. The Justice Department has been very pleased with what we have done to increase participation from all citizens and make it as simple as possible for our citizens to participate in the process." Bentley calls the noncompliance by Alabama as an oversight and says the state intends to obey the law.
