Washington state's Department of Licensing has received multiple reports of foreign nationals getting automatically registered to vote in recent elections.
House Bill 2595, a bill that automatically registers people to vote when they are issued a driver’s license or renew an existing license if they provide a signature and are offered the chance to decline voter registration, went into effect in July 2018. Later that year, both the state's Department of Licensing and the Secretary of State’s Office began receiving complaints of foreign voter registration, according to the Center Square.
"I don’t know what’s going on at the DOL counters exactly, but I do know that nearly all of my clients that have been registered to vote do not recall doing so, do not recall whether they were asked if they are a US citizen, and 100% of the time either did not speak English or they did not speak English well enough to understand the questions being posed to them,” Mathisen's email read.
In 2019, this issue returned when King County Elections Director Julie Wise wrote an email to King County Voter Education Fund on Oct. 29 regarding concerns about foreign voter registration. In her email, Wise claimed"a small number of voters" would receive a voting ballot due to accidentally getting registered"while getting a driver’s license or Washington State ID,” an issue she has discussed with the Department of Licensing and"will continue to do so.
