Officials are considering tweaks to the state’s motor voter system by looking to address shortcomings that led to several noncitizens being registered to vote.

The article outlines a public hearing for the proposed rules of Oregon's Motor Voter program, stressing the importance of public input in enhancing the system's accuracy and inclusivity.

The proposed rules update was prompted by an audit last year after it was discovered that hundreds of ineligible people were mistakenly registered as voters.

Oregonians registering to vote must sign a statement swearing they are a U.S. citizen who is eligible to vote. Under Oregon’s 2016 Motor Voter law, people who obtain or renew a driver’s license are automatically registered to vote if they submit proof of U.S. citizenship.
