TRENTON — Governor Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday provided an update on the state’s response to a software error at the Motor Vehicle Commission that improperly registered approximately 6,600 individuals to vote between June 2023 and June 2024, during the previous administration.
Sherrill said her administration has moved on multiple fronts over the past week, including notifying those affected directly and beginning the process of correcting the voter rolls.
The Division of Elections has begun removing more than 4,500 individuals who were registered solely as a result of the software error, Sherrill said.
The remaining registrations will be referred to county election officials for further review to ensure no lawfully registered voters are disenfranchised.
Sherrill said the extra review is necessary because initial findings indicate some of the individuals may be citizens, a pattern she said has occurred in other states following similar clerical and administrative errors.
