Oregon DMV finds cases of people being registered to vote despite not showing proof of citizenship
- The Oregon DMV reported it mistakenly allowed 118 people, likely non-citizens, to register to vote.
- Flaws in the agency's processes and software, in use from 2010 to 2020, caused the registration errors.
- The DMV software had a drop-down menu that allowed staff to mistakenly categorize individuals as citizens.
- The Secretary of State's webpage states they are sorry for the error and the people bear no responsibility.
- Following the discovery of errors, Oregon paused its motor voter system, but resumed it in February with new controls.
