A 3459 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 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 updates New Jersey's voter registration system to more efficiently remove deceased voters. It allows next of kin, veterans' healthcare directors, nursing home administrators, and funeral directors to submit a notarized form with a death certificate to county election officials, who must then move the voter to the death file. Additionally, it requires the Secretary of State to annually match the statewide voter database with the Social Security Administration's deceased persons database by October 1 each year. These changes directly affect county election officials and the Secretary of State's office, ensuring voter records are updated more reliably and promptly after a person's death.
