Requires MVC to safeguard automatic voter registration process.
This bill (S 956) requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to automatically register eligible applicants to vote when they apply for or renew a driver's license, permit, or non-driver ID card, unless they opt out. It mandates MVC to collect voter registration information electronically for eligible applicants (those meeting NJ voting requirements), provide clear notices about voter eligibility and the opt-out option, and send address changes to voter registration unless declined. Ineligible applicants (e.g., non-citizens) receive separate forms without voting options, and domestic violence victims can register without disclosing their street address. The bill directly affects NJ residents using MVC services who are eligible to vote.
