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. |
