The applicant shall also sign the self-affirmation required by section 1-2-205.(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.Amended by 2018 Ch. 262, § 5, eff. 5/29/2018.Amended by 2016 Ch. 173, § 11, eff. 5/18/2016.Amended by 2013 Ch. 184, § 4, eff. 1/1/2014.Amended by 2013 Ch. 316, § 1, eff. 8/7/2013.L. 92: Entire article R&RE, p. 648, § 2, effective 1/1/1993.
