The bill establishes the Office of Voting Rights within the Office of the Public Defender in the Department of the Treasury, aimed at providing free legal services to voters facing legal issues on election day. This includes assistance with administrative problems like verifying voter registration status, addressing challenges from appointed challengers, and protecting voters from harassment or intimidation. All residents of New Jersey will be eligible for representation at no cost.

The Public Defender will oversee the Office of Voting Rights, with responsibilities that include appointing necessary staff, assigning attorneys to represent voters, and coordinating with other state departments to ensure the office can effectively fulfill its mission. The bill emphasizes the importance of cooperation among state agencies to support the rights of voters and ensure they receive competent legal assistance when needed. The act is set to take effect 180 days after its enactment.
