State board approves $84K for new motor-voter law

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A state board has approved $84,000 for the Department of Motor Vehicles to begin implementing a new program intended to bolster voter registration throughout Nevada.

Voters approved a ballot measure in November mandating the DMV offer anyone who shows up for a license or registration renewal the chance to also register to vote on site.

The statute requires individuals to either register to vote or sign a form declaring they don't want to.
