Requires MVC to safeguard automatic voter registration process.
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to implement safeguards to prevent ineligible individuals from registering to vote through automatic voter registration during driver's license or ID card applications. Specifically, it mandates the MVC to provide separate application forms for people who do not meet voting eligibility requirements (such as citizenship or residency), which cannot include voter registration options. The bill also requires clear notices about voter eligibility rules and disqualifications, including penalties for false registration, and ensures applicants can decline automatic registration. These changes aim to protect the integrity of voter registration by preventing ineligible applicants from accidentally registering to vote.
