Implementation Guidelines
and NVRA Forms
In 1993 Congress enacted the "National
Voter Registration Act" (NVRA) also known as “Motor
Voter” to increase the number of citizens who register to
vote, increase voter participation, and protect the integrity of the electoral
process. The law established a variety of mechanisms to make it easier for Americans
to exercise their right to vote.
"Motor Voter"
NVRA requires that individuals be given an opportunity to
register to vote or to update their voter registration information when applying
for a driver’s license or other personal identification issued by a Motor
Vehicle Commission Agency.
The opportunity to register to vote shall be offered to citizens
applying for: A Driver’s license (new applicant, renewal or change of address)
"Voter Registration
Agency"
NVRA requires public assistance or State-funded programs
engaged in providing services to persons with disabilities (new applicant, recertification,
renewal or change of address)
