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.
This bill (S 2476) amends New Jersey law to allow U.S. citizens enrolled as full-time college students at an institution in a county to serve on that county’s district board (poll worker), even if they do not live in the county or state. Currently, applicants must be county residents, but this bill removes that residency requirement specifically for full-time college students. The change applies only to students attending institutions within the county where they seek appointment, while maintaining other existing requirements like U.S. citizenship and parental permission for minors. It directly affects out-of-county college students seeking local election roles.
