purposes established pursuant to the provisions of Title 19 and Title 40 of the Revised

Statutes, and shall be the single system for storing and managing the official file

of registered voters throughout the State. A commissioner may, however, continue to use and maintain as a supplement to the

registered to vote in the county or who are re-registering for any reason shall be

responsible for entering the information on those forms into the system on an expedited

basis, and electronically transferring into the system the information from online voter

registration forms completed pursuant to section 1 of P.L.2019, c. 382 ( C.19:31-6.4c ), including but not limited to forms and information received pursuant to chapter 31

and providing the technological security measures needed to prevent unauthorized access

of section 1 of that act. d. The Secretary of State , in consultation with each county commissioner of registration, shall develop minimum

standards to safeguard the accuracy of the files contained in the Statewide voter

registration system. Such standards shall include procedures to ensure that reasonable effort is made

to remove registrants who are ineligible to vote pursuant to federal or State law

and to ensure that eligible voters are not removed in error from the system. e. (1) The Secretary of State and the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission in the Department

of Transportation shall enter into an agreement to match information in the database

of the Statewide voter registration system with information in the database of the

commission, including social security numbers, to the extent required to enable verification

of the accuracy of the information provided on applications for voter registration , and to locate and utilize for voter registration purposes the digitized signatures

of licensed drivers or holders of non-driver identification cards who register to
