Summary
The bill ends New Jersey's automatic voter registration system and returns to an opt‑in process, meaning people must actively request to be added to the voter rolls. It also requires anyone registering at the Motor Vehicle Commission to provide proof of U.S. citizenship. This change would affect all residents who want to vote, shifting the burden of registration onto the individual.
