Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to completely repeal the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), a landmark piece of federal legislation that significantly expanded voter registration opportunities in the United States. The NVRA, also known as the "Motor Voter Act," currently requires states to allow voter registration when individuals apply for or renew their driver's licenses, provides voter registration forms at government offices like social service agencies, and establishes guidelines to prevent voter roll purges. By repealing this act, the bill would eliminate these voter registration mechanisms, potentially making it more difficult for some citizens to register to vote and potentially reducing voter participation, especially among traditionally underrepresented populations. The bill is straightforward in its approach, simply stating that the entire National Voter Registration Act of 1993, as codified in Title 52, United States Code, sections 20501 and subsequent sections, would be completely eliminated.
