A 2969 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits voter registration of standard driver's license or identification card applicants.

This bill prohibits automatic voter registration for applicants seeking standard driver's licenses or identification cards at New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). It specifically excludes standard license applicants from the existing automatic voter registration process (which applies to REAL ID applicants), meaning people applying for regular licenses will no longer be offered automatic voter registration during MVC transactions. The bill maintains automatic registration for REAL ID applicants but clarifies that standard license seekers must register separately through other means, with MVC staff providing clear notices about declining registration.
