S 4523 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Secretary of State and Chief Administrator of MVC to conduct audit of certain voter registrations and annual audits thereafter; requires proof of citizenship for voter registration at MVC.

This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to ask for proof of citizenship from anyone applying for a driver's license or state ID card. If an applicant provides documentation proving they are a U.S. citizen and is not already on the voter rolls, their information will be automatically sent to local election officials to register them to vote. The law also mandates that the Secretary of State and the MVC conduct annual audits of these voter registrations. Applicants retain the right to decline automatic voter registration, and the bill does not change the existing rules for who is eligible to vote in the state.
