Immigration

This bill prohibits local New Jersey governments from allowing noncitizens to vote in local elections. It declares that any local ordinance, resolution, or action permitting noncitizen voting would be invalid and against public policy. The bill also states that elected local officials who approve such measures would violate their oath of office. The law amends existing ethics rules for local officials but centers on establishing that noncitizens cannot participate in local elections under state law. It does not affect state or federal elections.
