New Jersey noncitizen voter registration error

Overview

New Jersey officials reported that a processing error at the state Motor Vehicle Commission resulted in approximately 6,600 individuals who identified themselves as noncitizens being registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024. Reports indicate these individuals did not falsely claim citizenship but were registered despite their self-identification. Similar registration issues involving noncitizens have been noted in states including Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Iowa, and Ohio.

Governor Mikie Sherrill has attributed the New Jersey incident to a “software error,” though the vendor, IDEMIA, has disputed being solely responsible. A group of 19 House Republicans, led by Representative Jeff Van Drew, has requested information regarding which elections were affected, how the validation process failed, and whether election results were impacted. While a preliminary review suggests fewer than 400 of the registered individuals cast ballots, the incident has intensified national debates regarding election integrity and the vulnerabilities of self-attestation processes.
