President Clinton signed the National Voter Registration Act on May 20, 1993, requiring states to offer voter registration at DMVs and public assistance agencies and setting rules for how states must maintain voter rolls. The law required states to use specific procedures before removing voters — including notice periods and waiting requirements — to balance list accuracy against disenfranchisement. The law became the primary legal constraint on federal government demands for state voter data.

President Bill Clinton signs the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), known as the Motor Voter Act, into law (P.L. 103-31). The law requires states to offer voter registration at DMVs, by mail using a uniform federal form, and at public assistance agencies including Medicaid and SNAP offices. It applies to 44 states and DC, exempting six states with election-day registration. The DOJ receives civil enforcement authority. Effective January 1, 1995, the NVRA marks the first major federal expansion of voter registration access since the Voting Rights Act. Bush had vetoed similar legislation in 1992.
