The Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism and Historic Preservation Committee passed Senator Kristin Corrado’s bipartisan bill on May 21 to prevent the Motor Vehicle Commission from prompting non-citizens to register to vote in New Jersey.
The legislation aims to address concerns about election integrity by ensuring that only eligible voters are encouraged to register. Supporters say this measure will help local officials maintain accurate voter rolls while keeping the registration process accessible for qualified residents.
“As a former county clerk, I understand the pressure our local election officials face to maintain accurate voter rolls while ensuring every eligible voter has easy access to the ballot box,” said Senator Corrado. “This legislation provides important clarity so the Motor Vehicle Commission is not prompting non-citizens to register to vote, which protects the integrity of our elections while preserving the easy and accessible voter registration process that eligible New Jersey voters currently enjoy.”

Senator Anthony M. Bucco serves as Senate Republican Leader and chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee while also serving on other legislative committees, according to the official website of Senator Bucco. He represents New Jersey’s 25th Legislative District and participates in sponsoring bills and contributing to committee discussions on state issues through his district office and email services.
Looking ahead, supporters expect further discussion as S-4132 moves through additional legislative steps.
