VOTER REGISTRATION POLICY |
|
|
|
Each individual who comes into a Department
of Human Services (DHS) office will be afforded the opportunity to register
to vote or to decline that opportunity. Program Goal The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (42 USCA 1973gg-5)
requires that all state offices which provide public assistance with federal
funds shall make available “mail-in” voter registration forms, assistance in
the completion of registration applications, and the acceptance of completed
registration application forms. The intent of this federal law is to
establish procedures which will increase the number of eligible citizens who
register to vote in elections for Federal offices, to protect the integrity
of the electoral process, and to ensure that accurate and current voter
registration rolls are maintained. NVRA
Quarterly Staff Training Certificate Program supervisors and contract managers/directors will
ensure all Certificate Program staff who are involved in providing, assisting
with, and collecting the registration applications will receive documented
quarterly training through their local DHS Family Assistance office. |
