A 1511 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Directs Secretary of State to establish election incident reporting and complaint database; requires certain telephone numbers be provided with voter instructions.

This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to create a real-time database tracking election incidents like civil rights violations or voter fraud reported during elections. The database must organize incidents by location, date, and type, then share summaries with officials like the Attorney General and U.S. Attorney. It also mandates that polling places display voter information notices containing the U.S. Attorney Election Hotline, New Jersey Election Hotline, and county election contact numbers. Additionally, mail-in ballot instructions must include these same phone numbers, and the Secretary must publish an annual report on all reported incidents after each election.
