Opportunity to decline automatic voter registration at Massachusetts RMV will soon no longer be available
BOSTON – The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles is announcing that soon the RMV is no longer allowed to offer the option for customers to opt out of automatic voter registration.
The opportunity for driver’s license and ID applicants to decline automatic voter registration is no longer possible effective January 1, 2023, in accordance with “The VOTES Act,” a new election reform law which was passed by the Massachusetts State Legislature on June 22, 2022.
On each business day, the RMV will be required to transmit to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, specific applicant information on all eligible transactions with the RMV meeting the select criteria of persons attesting to U.S. citizenship and providing proof of lawful presence. Information that is sent to the Secretary of the Commonwealth will include the applicant’s name, date of birth, address, attestation of citizenship, and an electronic signature.
RMV customers will be allowed to decline voter registration after receiving the acknowledgment notice from their respective municipal election officials.
The RMV has revised its driver’s license and ID applications and the “Voter Registration Receipt” to reflect the new changes referenced above. To learn more, go online to: Automatic Voter Registration.
The RMV recommends all customers needing to conduct transactions, go online to see if an online transaction is possible, or to prepare for an in-person visit if necessary: RMV’s Online Service Center.

Is that what QAnon saying? Have you tried to get a Real ID lately? Do you remember getting your original license? That even required a birth certificate. But hey believe in conspiracies with zero proof and just your ignorant fear Mr. The Real anonymous because you’re chicken. Oh and confused. You seem very confused. Sounds like Dunning-Kruger to me!

You tell me what Q is saying. I have never mentioned Q once. Now you have me saying it twice. Q is hopium for the masses. Quell the real anger of the people by offering up a quasi super hero who is saving America from behind the scenes. Mostly in cyber world and the Metaverse. I don’t play that fantastical delusion game you seem to be immersed in. Thanks anyway wanker.
