Requires Secretary of State and Chief Administration of MVC to conduct audit of certain voter registrations and annual audits thereafter; requires proof of citizenship for voter registration at MVC.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A1554 requires proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration when applying for or renewing a driver's license, ID card, or other motor vehicle services at the MVC (Motor Vehicle Commission). It mandates the MVC Chief Administrator and Secretary of State to conduct an initial audit of all voter registrations processed through MVC since May 1, 2021, followed by annual audits of newly registered voters. These audits must be completed 30 days before each primary election, with reports submitted to the Governor and Legislature. The bill directly affects voters registering via MVC services and ensures registrations meet eligibility requirements under state law.
