Prohibits voter registration of standard driver's license or identification card applicants.
This bill would amend New Jersey's automatic voter registration process at Motor Vehicle Commission locations. It specifically prohibits automatic voter registration for applicants seeking standard driver's licenses or identification cards, while maintaining the process for REAL ID applicants. Currently, eligible applicants for REAL ID licenses (which require proof of legal presence) are automatically registered to vote unless they decline. The bill changes the eligibility definition to exclude standard license applicants from this automatic registration process. This would prevent people applying for standard licenses (who don't need to provide proof of legal presence) from being automatically registered to vote at MVD locations.
