New Jersey § 19:31-6

§ 19:31-6.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a person who is qualified

to register to vote may submit a voter registration form electronically on a secure

Internet website maintained by the Secretary of State, if the applicant has an email

address and provides a valid New Jersey driver's license number, a valid New Jersey

nondriver identification card number, or the last four digits of the applicant's Social

Security number. The voter registration form shall contain substantively the same information required

to be contained on a paper voter registration form pursuant to section 16 of P.L.1974,

c. 30 ( C.19:31-6.4 ). The voter registration form available electronically shall also enable a person who

is qualified to register to vote, and a person who is registered to vote, to declare

a political party affiliation and to make changes to that affiliation, with an option

to indicate no affiliation with any political party, by updating the online voter

registration form. Beginning on January 1, 2026 and thereafter, the voter registration form available

electronically shall enable a person who is qualified to register to vote, and a person

who is registered to vote, to apply for and receive a mail-in ballot as provided under

section 3 of P.L.2009, c. 79 ( C.19:63-3 ), until the voter requests otherwise. a. The Secretary of State shall apply the same voter registration deadline applicable

under current law for paper voter registration forms to an online voter registration

form submitted by an applicant pursuant to this section. b. The applicant completing the form shall affirmatively attest to the truth of the

information provided in the form. c. For voter registration purposes, the applicant shall affirmatively assent to the

use of his or her signature from his or her driver's license or non-driver identification

card or the applicant's digitized or electronic signature. d. For each online voter registration form, the Secretary of State shall obtain either

an electronic copy of the applicant's signature from his or her driver's license or

non-driver identification card directly from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission,

or the applicant's digitized or electronic signature. e. Upon submission of an online voter registration form pursuant to this section,

the electronic voter registration system shall automatically acknowledge that the

online voter registration form has been submitted successfully, and provide instructions

on how the person completing the voter registration form may follow-up on the status

of the submission either online or by contacting the appropriate county commissioner

of registration. If a person submits more than one online voter registration form with identical information,

the county commissioner of registration of the county in which the voter resides may

process and adjudicate only the first online voter registration form submitted by

the person through the system. f. The Secretary of State shall employ security measures to ensure the accuracy and

integrity of voter registration forms submitted electronically pursuant to this section. g. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and the Secretary of State shall jointly

develop a process and the infrastructure to allow the electronic copy of the applicant's

signature and other information required under this section that is in the possession

of the commission to be transferred to the Secretary of State and to the appropriate

county election officials to allow a person who is qualified to register to vote in

New Jersey to register to vote under this section. h. If an applicant cannot electronically submit the information required pursuant

to this section, the applicant shall nevertheless be able to complete the online voter

registration form electronically on the Secretary of State's Internet website, print

a paper copy of the completed form, and mail or deliver the paper copy of the completed

form to the Secretary of State or the appropriate county election official. For the purposes of this subsection, the applicant shall be required to provide

the same documents required to be provided with a paper voter registration form pursuant

to R.S.19:31-5 .
