Introduced Text

New Jersey A136 mandates voter notification upon changes to registration and prohibits party affiliation changes after a deadline.

New Jersey A136 requires the commissioner of registration to notify voters within five business days if their party affiliation change has not been processed. It also mandates that voters remain in their previous party affiliation and remain eligible to vote in their original party's primary election. The bill prohibits updating a voter's party affiliation after a statutory deadline. Voters denied the right to vote in their preferred primary due to incorrect party affiliation can vote via a provisional ballot and seek judicial review.
