A 509 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 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 New Jersey's Secretary of State to match the Statewide voter registration system with jury records to identify and remove non-citizen voter registrants. Specifically, it mandates an agreement with the courts to cross-check voter data against juror records - including requests for excuses based on non-citizenship - to remove ineligible registrations. The matching applies retroactively to all available jury records since 1994, when New Jersey allowed voter registration at driver's license offices. This process aims to improve the accuracy of voter rolls by ensuring only eligible citizens remain registered.
