Clarifies MVC voter registration prompts for certain persons.
This bill amends New Jersey law to prohibit the Motor Vehicle Commission from asking non-citizens if they wish to register to vote. It allows the state to automatically register voters who provide proof of citizenship when applying for a REAL ID license or identification card, while giving these individuals the option to decline. The law ensures that the Motor Vehicle Commission cannot request citizenship documents solely for voter registration purposes and does not change the existing requirements for who can vote.
