Urges United States Congress to enact "Alice Paul Voter Protection Act."
This New Jersey Assembly Concurrent Resolution (ACR 120) urges the U.S. Congress to pass the federal "Alice Paul Voter Protection Act" (H.R. 1583), sponsored by New Jersey Representatives Andy Kim and Donald Norcross. The referenced federal bill would criminalize interfering with voter registration - such as obstructing someone from registering to vote or assisting others to register - with penalties including fines or up to five years in prison. It also requires the federal Election Assistance Commission to create best practices for states to prevent such interference. The resolution honors Alice Paul, a New Jersey suffrage leader instrumental in securing women’s voting rights, but the resolution itself has no legal effect - it only advocates for federal action.
