This bill mandates that each school district in New Jersey incorporate instruction on voting into the curriculum for 12th-grade students as part of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Social Studies. The instruction will cover essential topics such as the importance of voting and the responsibilities of citizens, the voter registration process including eligibility requirements, and practical information on how to vote, such as finding polling places or requesting absentee ballots.

Additionally, the bill encourages school districts to collaborate with election officials to develop this voting instruction and to work with local boards of elections to provide students with voter pre-registration or registration forms. The act is set to take effect immediately and will be applicable in the first full school year following its enactment.
