New Jersey A125 introduces a requirement for automatic recounts in local elections where the vote difference is 10 votes or less, upon a candidate's request. The bill also establishes geographic regions for Superior Court judges to adjudicate election recounts and contests.

These regions are based on county populations, historical recount volumes, and voter turnout.
