National Voter Registration Act (NVRA)

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), enacted in 1993, aims to increase voter registration and participation in elections. It requires states to offer voter registration opportunities when individuals apply for or renew driver's licenses and social services. The law helps ensure that more people have access to the voting process, particularly those in underserved communities. Additionally, it establishes guidelines for maintaining and updating voter registration lists, promoting accuracy and security. Ultimately, the NVRA seeks to make the democratic process more accessible to all eligible citizens in the United States.
