The Voters on the Move Registration Act requires federal housing agencies to provide voter registration information to people applying for or receiving federal housing assistance. Specifically, the bill mandates that public housing agencies, rental voucher programs, mortgage lenders, and owners of federally-backed apartment buildings include a uniform voter registration statement with leases, vouchers, income verification forms, and mortgage applications. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will develop this uniform statement in consultation with the Election Assistance Commission and make it available in English and the 10 most commonly spoken languages for people with limited English proficiency. The bill does not require anyone to actually register to vote—it simply ensures they receive information about how to do so. This legislation affects millions of Americans who receive federal rental assistance or apply for federally-backed mortgages, making voter registration information more accessible at key moments when people interact with housing programs.
