Automatic Voter Registration: Easier Access to Voting and Enhanced Data Security.

This Act establishes a nationwide system of automatic voter registration (AVR) to simplify participation in Federal elections. When citizens interact with motor vehicle agencies (like getting a driver's license), they will be automatically registered to vote unless they actively decline. The law also mandates modernizing registration systems, protecting personal data, and ensuring the security and accuracy of voter lists.
Key points
Automatic voter registration during motor vehicle transactions (DMV/MVA), requiring citizens to opt-out if they do not wish to register.
Mandatory automatic registration for all eligible individuals turning 18 years old.
Establishment of federal security and privacy standards for voter data, overseen by NIST, and prohibition of using this data for commercial purposes.
Legal protection for individuals mistakenly registered due to agency error, including safeguards against immigration or criminal prosecution.
