A 2259 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides additional ways for transferring deceased voter's record to Statewide voter registration system's death file; requires Secretary of State match registration system with Social Security Administration deceased persons database.

This bill (A2259) updates New Jersey's process for removing deceased voters from registration rolls. It adds three new methods for transferring records: next of kin can submit a notarized form with a death certificate, veterans healthcare directors or nursing home administrators can notify county election officials, and funeral directors can submit a form. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to annually match the statewide voter system with the Social Security Administration's deceased persons database by October 1. These changes directly affect county election officials, next of kin, healthcare facilities, nursing homes, and funeral homes by streamlining how deceased voter records are reported and removed.
