CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT

Counsel.

��

An Act establishing a pilot program to provide for same-day 
voter registration on election day in certain years.

���� Be It 
Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� a.� Notwithstanding the 
provisions of Title 19 of the Revised Statutes, or any other law, rule, or 
regulation to the contrary, the Secretary of State, in conjunction with the 
commissioner of registration, county clerk, and county board of elections in each 
county, shall implement a pilot program to allow each person who meets the 
voter eligibility criteria under R.S.19:31-5 to register to vote on the day of 
the general election in 2021, 2022, and 2023 at designated locations, as 
further provided by this section.

���� b.��� Under the pilot program, 
the commissioner of registration, county clerk, and county board of elections 
in each county shall collectively designate one or more locations in each 
county to allow for same-day voter registration for all eligible residents of 
that county who desire to register to vote. At least one location shall be 
designated in each county in 2021. The commissioner, clerk, and board shall 
have discretion to open additional locations allowing same-day voter 
registration in 2022 and 2023.

���� c.���� A voter who registers 
to vote under the same-day voter registration pilot program shall be required 
to do so in compliance with the eligibility criteria specified under 
R.S.19:31-5, and shall complete a voter registration form as required under 
section 16 of P.L.1974, c.30 (C.19:31-6.4). Upon registering to vote, a voter 
shall be directed to the voter�s designated polling place and shall be 
permitted to cast a provisional ballot.

���� d.��� The Secretary of State, in 
collaboration with the commissioner of registration, county clerk, and county 
board of elections in each county, shall develop interim reports on the 
effectiveness of the pilot program, including an audit of the pilot program, 
for each of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 implementation years by January 31 of the 
following year, along with a final report by March 1, 2024. The interim and 
final reports shall be submitted to the Governor and, pursuant to section 2 of 
P.L.1991, c.164 (C.52:14-19.1), to the Legislature, by January 31 of 2022, 
2023, and 2024, and March 1, 2024, respectively. 

���� e.���� If the Secretary of State, 
commissioner of registration, county clerk, and county board of elections in 
each county find in their final report required pursuant to subsection d. of 
this section that the pilot program was successful in increasing voter 
registration and participation in the elections relative to comparable general 
elections, with a low risk for voter fraud, then the final report shall include 
recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature for the enactment of 
same-day voter registration in this State at every polling location for the 
2024 general election, and all elections thereafter. 

���� 2.��� This act shall take 
effect immediately, and shall expire on March 1, 2024, or upon the issuance of 
the final report required by this act, whichever occurs later.

STATEMENT

���� This bill requires the 
Secretary of State, in conjunction with the commissioner of registration, 
county clerk, and county board of elections in each county, to implement a 
pilot program to allow each person who meets the voter eligibility criteria to 
register to vote on the day of the general election in 2021, 2022, and 2023 at 
designated locations.

���� Under current law, a person 
who meets the voter eligibility requirements of being a citizen of the United 
States, of the age of 18 years, and who has been a resident of the State for at 
least 30 days and of the county at least 30 days before the election, is 
permitted to register to vote on or before the 21st day preceding the election.

���� Under the pilot program, the 
commissioner of registration, county clerk, and county board of elections in 
each county would collectively designate one or more locations in each county 
to allow for same-day voter registration for all eligible residents of that 
county who wish to register to vote. A voter who registers to vote under the 
same-day voter registration pilot program would be required to meet the voter 
eligibility criteria under current law and to complete a voter registration 
form. Upon registering to vote, such a voter would be directed to the voter�s 
designated polling place and be permitted to cast a
