Bill > S2912

Introduced Session

This bill requires that each board of education of a school district, as applicable, incorporate instruction on voting in an appropriate place in the curriculum for students in grade 12 as part of the school district's implementation of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards in Social Studies. The instruction will provide students with information on: the importance of voting, including the role and responsibilities of citizens as voters; voter registration, including eligibility requirements, and information on the pre-registration and registration processes; and how to vote, including locating polling places or requesting an absentee ballot. School districts may collaborate with election officials to develop the instruction on voting. School districts may also collaborate with local boards of elections to assist in providing students with voter pre-registration or registration forms.
