New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill said today that a review of Motor Vehicle Commission voter-registration procedures uncovered an additional 1,090 voter records requiring correction or further review.

The findings include about 750 records affected by a software error that occurred from June 2023 to June 2024 and about 340 potentially improper registrations stemming from MVC re-entry events for formerly incarcerated individuals dating to 2016.

Sherrill said neither issue involved noncitizens.

The review found that about 750 people selected “no” when asked whether they met the age requirement to vote, but their information was nevertheless sent for voter registration because of an error involving the MVC’s former technology vendor, IDEMIA. The individuals’ dates of birth showed they were old enough to vote, and the administration said no underage person voted as a result of the error.

Sherrill said many of those individuals were well above voting age and likely pressed the wrong button on the MVC’s PIN pad.

Of those records, about 380 had no other registrations and did not vote and are being placed in deleted status. About 320 had other potentially valid registrations and voted; those cases are being referred to county election officials for review. Another roughly 50 people were registered solely because of the error and voted. Their registrations are being deleted and the cases referred to counties for review.

The administration also identified about 340 potentially improper voter-registration records from MVC re-entry events dating to 2016. Officials said some individuals incorrectly attested that they were eligible to vote despite being incarcerated for an indictable offense.

Those records are being referred to county election officials to determine whether their registrations should be deleted. Separately, about 60 currently incarcerated individuals were identified and referred to counties for remediation through the state’s routine voter-list maintenance process.

The governor said the MVC is also transitioning to a new vendor and implementing additional safeguards.

Among the changes is a daily automated audit that will compare voter-registration records with customers’ recorded responses before the information is transmitted to the state Department of Elections. Records with missing or conflicting information will be flagged for manual review and cannot be transmitted until MVC staff verify them.

The agency also is updating its online driver’s license and identification card renewal pages to more clearly explain voter eligibility requirements, how registration information will be used and the option to register or decline.

Sherrill said the changes are intended to strengthen New Jersey’s voter rolls while ensuring eligible voters can participate.

“I said we were going to run a secure and fair election here in New Jersey and I meant it,” Sherrill said.

The governor also criticized President Donald Trump, saying his administration had been raising concerns about New Jersey’s voter-registration system without taking action to address the problems.

Sherrill said the state’s investigation remains ongoing and pledged to continue releasing information as the review proceeds.

“We will follow the facts wherever they lead, fix the problems we inherited, do it the right way, and hold those responsible accountable,” she said.
