§ C.R.S. § 1-2-213Registration at driver's license examination facilities

(1) The department of
revenue, through its local driver's license examination facilities, shall provide each eligible
elector who applies for the issuance, renewal, or correction of any type of driver's license or for
an identification card pursuant to part 3 of article 2 of title 42, C.R.S., an opportunity to
complete an application to register to vote, which application provides the information required
under this part 2.
(2) (a) An applicant who wishes to complete an application for registration must provide
the information required by section 1-2-204 with the exception of the information required by
section 1-2-204 (2)(f.3). The applicant shall also sign the self-affirmation required by section 12-205.
(b) The application for registration shall not require any information that duplicates
information required in the driver's license portion of the form other than a second signature or
other information necessary to assure that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements for
registration. The application may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to
prevent duplicate voter registrations and enable the county clerk and recorder to assess the
eligibility of the applicant and to administer voter registration and other parts of the election
process.
(c) The application shall include a statement that, if an applicant declines to register to
vote, the fact that the applicant has declined to register will remain confidential and will be used
only for voter registration statistics purposes, and a statement that, if an applicant does register to
vote, the office at which the applicant submits a voter registration application will remain
confidential and will be used only for voter registration statistics purposes.
(d) Applications and changes must be forwarded on a weekly basis, or on a daily basis
during the last week prior to any election conducted by the county clerk and recorder, to the
county clerk and recorder of the county in which the applicant resides.
(e) The department of revenue, through its local driver's license examination facilities,
shall notify a program participant, as defined in section 24-30-2103 (9), C.R.S., who submits a
current and valid address confidentiality program authorization card of the provisions of section
24-30-2108 (4), C.R.S., and inform the participant about how he or she may use a substitute
address, as defined in section 24-30-2103 (14), C.R.S., on the driver's license or identification
card.
(3) Upon receipt of an application, the county clerk and recorder shall determine if the
application is complete. If the application is complete, the applicant shall be deemed registered
as of the date of application. If the application is not complete, the county clerk and recorder
shall notify the applicant, stating the additional information required. The applicant shall be
deemed registered as of the date of application if the additional information is provided at any
time prior to the actual voting.
(4) (Deleted by amendment, L. 94, p. 1756, § 16, effective January 1, 1995.)

(5) The department of revenue and the secretary of state shall jointly develop an
application form or process, and a change of name and address form or process, that allows an
applicant wishing to register to vote to do so without duplicating any information required for
the issuance, renewal, or correction of the driver's license or identification card. Any such forms
must be furnished to the local driver's license examination facilities by the department of
revenue.
(6) (a) Any registered elector who informs a driver's license examination facility of a
change of name or address must have notice of the change of name or address forwarded by the
driver's license examination facility to the county clerk and recorder of the county in which the
elector resides.
(b) The county clerk and recorder of the county in which the elector resides shall change
the registration record of the elector to reflect the change of name and address, mark the
registration record as "active", and send to the elector's address of record, by forwardable mail,
notice of the change and a postage paid pre-addressed return form by which the elector may
verify or correct the information.
(c) If the elector returns the form described in subsection (6)(b) of this section and
indicates that the change was in error, the appropriate county clerk and recorder shall
immediately correct the elector's previously updated information in the statewide voter
registration database.
(7) No information relating to the failure of an applicant for a driver's license to sign a
voter registration application may be used for any purpose other than voter registration statistics.
