S. 1970 · 114th Congress
Raising Enrollment with a Government Initiated System for Timely Electoral Registration (REGISTER) Act of 2015
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Raising Enrollment with a Government Initiated System for Timely Electoral Registration (REGISTER) Act of 2015
This bill requires each state to designate agencies (including motor vehicle authorities) to transfer electronically to state or local election officials source information on individuals for automatic voter registration for federal elections, unless an individual disclosing information to the agency opts out of automatic registration.
Such information must be transferred in a format that can be reviewed by state or local election officials and uploaded into a computerized statewide voter registration database.
Registration of eligible voters not previously registered, and who have not opted out, is mandatory.
A state must publish and enforce privacy and information security standards meeting specified requirements.
