[Oregon Secretary of State Kate] Brown has proposed to use Oregon DMV data to automatically register citizens to vote if they are not already registered. Her office has estimated that could increase the state's voter rolls by more than 500,000 over the current total of about 2.2 million.
Critics had earlier said that many people did not want to be registered because they did not want to be listed on the state's public record of voters. Under Brown's new proposal, new registrants would receive a notice giving them 14 days to opt out of being registered.

HB 3521 would provide that any citizen for whom the state has data will automatically be registered to vote.
