Requires Secretary of State to establish voter list maintenance and crosscheck program and to include certain voter registration data in annual report to Governor and Legislature.
New Jersey bill A 846 requires the Secretary of State to establish a statewide voter list maintenance program that cross-checks voter registration data with information from state agencies, including the Motor Vehicle Commission (for driver's license records), the Department of Health (death records), and the Department of Corrections (incarceration data). This program aims to remove ineligible voters (e.g., deceased, non-residents, incarcerated individuals) while preventing errors that might remove eligible voters. The bill mandates annual reports to the Governor and Legislature detailing the program's effectiveness, system security, and recommendations for improvement. It directly affects voters (through potential registration updates), county election officials (responsible for data entry), and state agencies (required to share data).
