Who is affected and how:

• State governments and state election offices: Directly affected because many states use or must accept the federal mail voter registration form; they will need to update their templates, websites, and printed materials to reflect the revised wording. The change is administrative and limited to text updates.
• Local election officials: Will implement the updated form in intake and processing of mailed registrations, and may need to replace printed stock or update local guidance.
• Election Assistance Commission (EAC): Becomes the named agency in the required form wording; the change clarifies which federal entity is referenced. The EAC may be asked to supply updated model forms or guidance.
• Voters and voter-registration groups (including nonprofits conducting registration drives): Should see no change in registration process or eligibility; groups that distribute printed or electronic federal forms must update materials to the new text.
• Vendors and printers: May incur minor one-time costs to update digital files and reprint forms or labels.

Overall effect:

This is a narrowly targeted technical amendment that changes the agency name and inserts small textual edits in the NVRA-prescribed mail registration form. It preserves existing voter rights and NVRA obligations. Administrative updates (revising form templates, online PDFs, and printed stock) are the primary costs, expected to be modest. The statutory acceptance requirement for the federal form continues to operate as before, now reflecting the updated wording. There are no new funding provisions, no changes to voter eligibility or deadlines, and no evident broad regulatory impacts beyond updating form content.
