Summary

**What it does:** This bill would require certain tax return preparers to distribute voter registration forms to their clients, treating them as official "voter registration agencies" under federal law. **Who it affects:** - Tax preparation businesses and professionals who would need to provide voter registration materials - People who use tax preparers to file their returns, who would receive voter registration forms - State and local election officials who oversee voter registration processes **What would change:** Tax preparers would be legally required to: - Make voter registration application forms available to clients - Provide assistance with completing the forms if requested - Follow specific procedures for handling and submitting completed applications This would create a new avenue for voter registration by leveraging the existing relationship between tax preparers and millions of Americans who file tax returns annually. The bill aims to increase voter registration opportunities by reaching people during tax season when they're already interacting with government-related paperwork. The bill is currently under review in congressional committee.
