DSS will help an individual complete the Voter Registration Application. You must “provide to each applicant who does not decline to register to vote the same degree of assistance with regard to the completion of the registration application form as is provided by the office with regard to the completion of its own forms, unless the applicant refuses such assistance.” (52 U.S.C. § 20506(a)(6)(C))

Completed Voter Registration Applications must be mailed to the county auditor no later than one business day after the office receives it. The original application must be mailed, not emailed, faxed, or scanned; as the county auditor must have the original signature. DSS will record the date each Voter Registration Application was transmitted to the county auditor and the method of delivery (first- class mail, hand delivery, etc.).
