Summary

The Special Joint Committee on Initiative Petitions reviewed Initiative Petition 25‑08, which would allow voters to register and vote on the same day. After hearing testimony from experts, officials and the public, the committee concluded the proposal does not adequately address operational challenges. It therefore advises the legislature to reject the petition without amendment.
