How to Challenge a Voter

• A Challenger can challenge a vote based on a belief that the voter is not qualified to vote based on citizenship, age or residency.
• No person on parole, probation or serving sentence due to a conviction for an indictable offense under any federal or state laws is entitled to vote.

• The poll worker must read aloud the information of Form C-3 "Information for Challenged Voter."
• After all questions are addressed, a vote must be taken by the poll workers to determine the right of the voter. If a tie vote, the challenge fails and the voter can vote. If the right to vote is denied the Challenger must complete Form C-2 "Challenger's Affidavit" which is signed by the poll workers. The voter must complete Form C-4 "Challenged Voter Affidavit" and this is also signed by the poll workers.
• If the right of the voter is denied, the voter may appeal the poll workers decision to a Superior Court Judge in Morristown. The voter must bring with him/her a copy of the Challenger's Affidavit and the Challenged Voter Affidavit.
