What happened

New Jersey officials are reviewing which elections included ballots from fewer than 400 improperly registered noncitizens after a Motor Vehicle Commission software error added about 6,600 people to the voter rolls. Gov. Mikie Sherrill said the affected applicants had identified themselves as noncitizens while obtaining driver’s licenses or state IDs between June 2023 and June 2024. She said the registrants were affiliated with multiple parties or unaffiliated and scattered statewide. The state removed the names and opened an investigation into the motor-voter failure.
