S 3712 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to treat United States Citizenship and Immigration Services field offices as voter registration agencies, and for other purposes.

This bill amends the National Voter Registration Act to allow U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) field offices to serve as official voter registration agencies for new naturalized citizens. It requires USCIS offices to facilitate voter registration applications during naturalization processes and mandates that courts conducting naturalization ceremonies permit USCIS to provide registration assistance. The bill directly affects newly naturalized citizens who complete their citizenship process at USCIS offices or through court ceremonies. Key provisions establish joint procedures between states and USCIS for registration and clarify that existing immigration fees and grant programs may fund these voter registration services.
