The bill amends the Michigan election law by adding a new section, 495b, which mandates the Secretary of State to review the instructions on the voter registration application at least once before each even-year general November election. This review aims to ensure that the application clearly describes the United States citizenship requirement for voter registration and informs individuals who do not meet this requirement that they must not register to vote.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that during this review process, the Secretary of State must consult with an expert on the usability of election or governmental forms or instructions. This provision is intended to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of voter registration instructions, thereby promoting compliance with citizenship requirements.
