In
2004, the State of New Jersey began to implement the Statewide Voter Registration
System (SVRS), to help New Jersey's 21 counties meet the mandates set forth by
the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA). HAVA requires that all states put in
place by January 1, 2006 a centralized and interactive statewide voter registration
list that will be defined, maintained and administered at the State level. The
full text of the Help America Vote Act can be viewed at www.fec.gov/hava/law_ext.txt.
