A 428 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires appropriate official file information on deaths in county with county clerk; provides additional ways for transferring deceased voter's record to Statewide voter registration system's death file.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A428 (A428) updates procedures for removing deceased voters from the Statewide Voter Registration System. It requires county clerks to receive monthly death records from health officers (in addition to the current commissioner of registration), and creates three new pathways for transferring voter records to the death file: (1) next of kin submitting a notarized form with a death certificate to county clerks or the commissioner; (2) veterans healthcare directors or nursing home administrators notifying the commissioner; and (3) funeral directors submitting forms with death certificates. These changes aim to improve the accuracy of voter rolls by streamlining how death information is shared with election officials. The bill directly affects county clerks, next of kin, veterans healthcare staff, nursing home administrators, and funeral directors.
