Oregon authorities say the state's DMV has resumed automatic voter registrations, after being paused since last fall because of the discovery of errors that registered nearly 1,600 people who didn't show proof of U.

Kotek ordered a pause to the state’s automatic voter registration program in October after concerning errors were brought to light.

The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles began automatically registering people to vote again, the state's Department of Transportation announced Wednesday. The controversial move comes after more than 1,600 people were registered to vote during a “clerical error.” It led to three cases of possible voter fraud.

State transportation officials said on Wednesday that the Oregon DMV's 'motor voter' program, paused in October 2024, has resumed as of February 26.
