This bill mandates that offices or divisions within the Department of Community Affairs and the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, which assist individuals in obtaining housing vouchers, rental housing, or mortgage loans, must provide voter registration forms. This requirement expands the current law, which already obligates free public libraries and certain State agencies to offer voter registration forms to the public.

Additionally, the bill updates the legal language to clarify that the Secretary of State, rather than the Attorney General, is responsible for overseeing elections in New Jersey. This change ensures that the voter registration process aligns with the current administrative structure of the State. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
