Bill > A560

Introduced Session

This bill requires the establishment of an automatic voter registration process at local police force locations or the Division of State Police in the Department of Law and Public Safety, which issue firearms purchaser identification cards. The bill requires such local police forces or the Division of State Police in the Department of Law and Public Safety to establish an automatic voter registration process similar to that currently applicable at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC). Under the bill, any local police force or the Division of State Police in the Department of Law and Public Safety issuing firearms purchaser identification cards, that the Secretary of State verifies already collects documents that would provide proof of eligibility, including age, citizenship, and residence address, would be required to establish and implement, upon approval by the Secretary of State, a procedure for automatically and electronically transmitting voter registration information to the Secretary of State of persons who are eligible to vote for the purpose of registering such persons to vote or updating their voter registration. Each person from whom voter registration information is collected would be offered an opportunity to decline automatic voter registration. The bill requires compliance with the automatic voter registration requirements established under current law for the NJMVC, including the provision of required notices to their clients, to the extent applicable as determined by the Secretary of State.
