Concerning noncitizens voting in local elections and conduct in office by local government officers.

This bill proposes to prohibit local New Jersey governments from allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. It declares any ordinance or action permitting noncitizen voting as "null and void" and states that approving such measures violates elected officials' oaths to "faithfully, impartially and justly perform" duties. The bill specifically targets local elections (not state or federal) and applies to mayors, council members, and other local officials. It is currently pending before the legislature and would amend existing law to clarify that local governments lack authority to permit noncitizen voting.
