New Jersey A5187 clarifies voter registration prompts at Motor Vehicle Commission, preventing non-citizens from being prompted to register.

New Jersey A5187 amends existing law to clarify voter registration prompts at Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) locations. The bill specifies that non-citizens should not be prompted to register to vote when completing transactions at MVC agencies. If an individual presents identification indicating they are not a U.S. citizen, they will not be prompted to register to vote on the electronic signature pad, and their information will not be transmitted to the Secretary of State. This change aims to ensure that only eligible citizens are prompted to register to vote during MVC transactions.
