Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 19:6-4, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 19:6-4.
A judge of the Superior Court or the county board shall have power to dismiss any member of a district board
from such board for an illegal act, or for any cause which shall be determined in
a summary way by such judge or county board. The county board shall dismiss the members of a district board from such board if
upon any recount of the votes cast in such district it shall appear that errors occurred
in the count or the certificate thereof, which, under the provisions of this Title,
are sufficient to cause the costs of such recount to be paid by the State, county
or municipality; and no person so removed from any board shall thereafter be eligible
to serve as a member of the same or any other district election board. Application for the removal of all of the members, or of any member of any district
election board, may, within ten days after the final order has been entered on any
recount which may have been allowed affecting such district, be made by any candidate
at the last election to a judge of the Superior Court or the county board. On the application, summary hearings shall be held to determine whether the board
or the member was incompetent or careless in the receipt of illegal votes or the rejection
of legal votes or otherwise in the conduct of the election generally. If, upon such hearing, it appears to the judge or the county board, as the case
may be, that such incompetency or carelessness existed, the board or the member thereof
found so to be incompetent or careless shall be removed and upon such removal disqualified
from further service as a member of any district board.
