New Jersey Erases 6,600 Noncitizen Registrations After DMV Software Glitch
TL;DR Summary
A DMV software error led to about 6,600 people being incorrectly registered as noncitizens on New Jersey’s voter rolls between mid-2023 and mid-2024. Gov. Mikie Sherrill ordered their removal and opened an investigation, noting fewer than 400 of those registrations resulted in actual votes. The Motor Vehicle Commission is replacing the IDEMIA system with a new vendor, with a fresh rollout expected next year. Officials say there’s no evidence the incident swayed elections, while critics argue it feeds debates over election integrity.
