S 3204 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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.

S 3204 (Sponsored by Senator Corrado) amends New Jersey law to allow U.S. citizens enrolled as full-time college students at an institution of higher education in a county to serve on that county's district boards, regardless of whether they reside in the county or state. Currently, applicants must be county residents to qualify for these positions. The bill adds this student group as an eligible category under the existing application requirements, removing the residency barrier specifically for full-time college students. This change directly affects out-of-county or out-of-state college students seeking these volunteer election-related roles.
