S 4249 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain State housing assistance offices to provide voter registration forms.

This bill requires New Jersey housing assistance offices to provide voter registration forms to eligible individuals. Specifically, it mandates that offices within the Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, which help people secure housing vouchers, rentals, or mortgages, make these forms available. The legislation updates existing state laws to include these housing agencies alongside public libraries and other government offices that already distribute registration materials. By adding these locations to the list of designated sites, the bill aims to expand opportunities for residents to register to vote while clarifying that the Secretary of State, rather than the Attorney General, oversees election administration.
