Permits voter registration at age 16, under certain conditions.
New Jersey's Assembly Bill A1176 would allow 16-year-olds to register to vote if they are U.S. citizens and meet the state's residency requirements (30 days in New Jersey and 30 days in their county). Registered 16- and 17-year-olds would be marked as "temporarily ineligible" in the voter system and could only vote in elections held after their 18th birthday. The bill does not change voting eligibility at age 18 but permits early registration for those who will turn 18 before the next election. This applies to all eligible 16-year-olds meeting citizenship and residency criteria, without altering other voter registration rules.
