This bill amends New Jersey's voter registration laws to allow individuals who are at least 16 years old to register to vote, provided they are citizens of the United States and residents of the state who meet the necessary residency requirements. Once registered, these individuals will be eligible to vote in elections occurring on or after their 18th birthday, as long as they have not been disqualified from voting. Additionally, registrants who have not yet turned 18 will be marked as temporarily ineligible to vote in the Statewide voter registration system until they reach the age of 18.

The bill also updates the identification requirements for first-time voters registering by mail. It specifies that individuals must provide either their New Jersey driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number, or submit a copy of an acceptable form of identification. This requirement does not apply to certain groups, including those voting absentee or registering in person. The bill aims to enhance voter participation by allowing younger individuals to prepare for voting as they approach adulthood.
