Voter Registration Information and Resources

The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) requires that all offices in the State that provide public assistance are designated as voter registration agencies.  Under this law, County Welfare Agencies (CWA), DMAHS' Institutional Services Section (ISS), and any eligibility determination agency must offer all NJ FamilyCare applicants and recipients the opportunity to register to vote.  Those individuals who present to the agency to: (1) Apply for benefits; (2) Complete a redetermination; (3) Report a change of address; or (4) Request to register to vote only must be offered the opportunity to register to vote.  Each individual shall also be informed that his/her decision whether to register to vote, or not to register, will not affect the public assistance application.
