A 3219 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits U.S. citizens who are full time college students to be district board members in county of college even if student is not a resident of county or State.

New Jersey bill A3219 would amend election board eligibility rules (R.S.19:6-2) to allow full-time U.S. citizen college students enrolled at an institution of higher education within a county to serve as district board members (poll workers), regardless of their county or state residency. Currently, applicants must be county residents, but this bill adds a new eligibility category specifically for such students. The change applies only to students attending schools located in the county where they seek appointment and does not alter other existing requirements like citizenship or age. It directly affects college students at New Jersey institutions who wish to work on election boards but lack local residency.
