Is online voter registration secure?
Yes. The online voter registration system uses the same technology that banks and retailers use to encrypt and protect a customer’s personal information. In addition, a randomly generated security number is presented to each user to make it more difficult for an automated hacking program to fraudulently fill out voter registration applications via the website. Since only people who have a driver’s license or state ID card can register to vote online, each applicant will have personally stood before a state employee, presented proper documentation, and had their pictures taken. The Secretary of State’s Office transfers the applicant’s signature from the driver’s license or ID card to the voter registration record.
