Roughly 6,600 non-citizens were accidentally registered on New Jersey voter rolls following a software error in the state’s Motor Vehicle System, Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced on Tuesday.
The error occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, resulting in thousands of individuals who indicated they were not citizens when applying for identification documents being accidentally added to voter rolls, Sherrill explained in a lengthy post on X.
Fewer than 400 of those who were registered voted, according to a “preliminary analysis,” Sherrill wrote.
