Section 15:10-2.4 - Responsibilities of county election officials

(a) The superintendent of elections in all counties having a superintendent of elections and the county board of elections in all other counties, shall serve as the county commissioner of registration. The commissioner has responsibility for the permanent registration of all eligible voters within their respective counties and for the enforcement of the provisions of 19:23-45 et seq.

(b) The appropriate county commissioner of registration must distribute the declaration forms prepared by the Department of State to all municipal clerks and to other sources where, in the judgment of the officer, there is a substantial likelihood that such forms will be distributed to the voting public.

(c) Upon receipt of a signed declaration form or statement, the election official shall immediately mail an acknowledgment to the voter indicating the political party declared. The acknowledgment must also indicate that, if the voter believes that he or she has not filed a declaration, or that an error has occurred, the voter must so advise the officer by either personally appearing, writing or telephoning within two weeks. The voter must be informed that, in the absence of any response, the voter will be deemed to be a member of the political party declared. In the event a voter submits a written, signed statement to the effect that he or she has not filed a declaration or that an error occurred, whatever the case may be, the records of the commissioner of registration shall reflect this action.
