S 1114 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 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 voter registration commissioner to place voters with mail-in ballots returned as undeliverable into an "inactive" file. If such a voter fails to vote in two consecutive federal general elections, they are removed from the statewide voter registry and moved to a "deleted" file. Voters receive written notices after being placed in the inactive file, when removal is planned, and after removal. The law applies specifically to voters whose mail-in ballots could not be delivered, with the commissioner retaining undeliverable ballots for two years. This changes how voter records are managed for those with undeliverable mail-in ballots, not affecting all voters.
