Requires MVC to safeguard automatic voter registration process.
This bill (A 3802) requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to automatically register eligible applicants for voter registration when they apply for or renew a driver's license, permit, or non-driver ID card, unless they decline. It directly affects residents applying for MVC services who meet voting eligibility requirements (e.g., age, citizenship, residency). Key provisions include: requiring MVC to provide clear notices about automatic registration and eligibility, using separate forms for ineligible applicants (who cannot register), and ensuring voter data is transmitted securely to the Secretary of State while protecting privacy for domestic violence victims. The law also mandates that address changes submitted to MVC update voter records automatically, unless declined.
