S 898 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires commissioner of registration to move voters with undeliverable mail-in ballots to inactive file; removes such inactive voters from Statewide voter registration system following failure to vote in two consecutive federal general elections.

This bill requires New Jersey's commissioner of registration to place voters with mail-in ballots returned as undeliverable into an inactive voter file. If such a voter fails to vote in two consecutive federal general elections, they will be removed from the statewide voter registration system and transferred to a deleted file. The commissioner must send written notices to affected voters when they are placed in the inactive file, when removal is initiated, and after removal is complete. These changes apply specifically to voters whose mail-in ballots were undeliverable, with no impact on voters who successfully cast ballots or have valid mailing addresses.
