Automatic Voter Registration: Easier Voting Access via Motor Vehicle Agencies.
This Act establishes a nationwide system of automatic voter registration (AVR), primarily through State motor vehicle agencies (DMVs). Eligible citizens who confirm their citizenship during a DMV transaction will be automatically registered to vote unless they affirmatively decline. The goal is to boost participation and modernize registration systems while implementing strict data security standards.
Key points
Voter registration becomes automatic when conducting transactions at the DMV or other state agencies, unless the individual opts out.
Provides legal protection for individuals mistakenly registered, shielding them from prosecution or adverse immigration consequences due to agency error.
Mandates secure, electronic voter data management systems and authorizes $3 billion in grants for states to implement these modernizations.
