A 560 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires automatic voter registration process at local police force locations or Division of State Police providing firearms purchaser identification cards.

This bill requires local police departments and the Division of State Police (which issue firearms purchaser ID cards) to implement automatic voter registration for eligible residents. It applies directly to people obtaining firearms ID cards at these locations, who would be offered voter registration unless they decline. The bill mandates that these agencies electronically transmit eligibility information (age, citizenship, address) to the Secretary of State, following existing rules used at the Motor Vehicle Commission, including providing clear opt-out notices to applicants. This expands automatic voter registration to new locations without changing eligibility requirements.
