There’s no clear timeline on when Nevada’s newly minted automatic voter registration will be implemented, election officials told state lawmakers Tuesday. Voters approved Question 5 last month, which will automatically register eligible people to vote when they apply for a new or renew a driver’s license or state identification, unless they opt out of the program.

Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske said during the Interim Finance Committee meeting Tuesday that her office is planning for $234,000 to cover the initial startup costs of the program. The Department of Motor Vehicles is also asking for $171,000 over the next two years to pay for its costs associated with the changes, including software upgrades.

But Wayne Thorley, deputy secretary of state in charge of elections, said there is no clear timetable as to when that program will be up and running.
