The bill amends the Michigan election law by adding a new section, 495b, which mandates that the Secretary of State review the instructions on the voter registration application at least once before each even-year general November election. This review is intended to ensure that the application clearly outlines the United States citizenship requirement for voter registration and informs individuals who do not meet this requirement that they should 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 aims to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the voter registration process, ensuring that all applicants are adequately informed of their eligibility requirements.
