S 413 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for agreement between Secretary of State and AOC to match information in Statewide voter registration system with certain jury records in order to identify and remove ineligible non-citizen voter registrants from system.

This bill requires the Secretary of State to create an agreement with the Administrative Office of the Courts to match New Jersey's statewide voter registration database with jury records. It specifically targets individuals who claimed non-citizenship as a reason for being excused from jury duty, allowing the state to identify and remove them from voter registration rolls as ineligible non-citizen registrants. The matching process applies retroactively to all available jury records since 1994, when New Jersey began allowing voter registration during driver's license applications. This policy change directly affects non-citizen voters who registered but later indicated non-citizenship in jury-related paperwork.
