Senate Journal Page: 2269

SB 511 stops government officials from sending voter registration forms to people who never asked for them. This bill protects taxpayers from having their money used to push political agendas under the guise of voter outreach. It ensures that voter registration remains a voluntary act of civic responsibility, not a government-driven campaign effort, and keeps government neutral. This bill prevents local governments from sidestepping state law using public resources. It also holds officials accountable with criminal penalties for misuse. The bill reins in bureaucratic overreach and protects the integrity of election processes.
