National Voter Registration Act of 1993

The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 requires states to provide voter registration opportunities through state agencies, including public libraries, that provide public assistance and services. The intent of this requirement is to increase voter registration opportunities, encourage voter participation, and protect the integrity of the electoral process.
