U.S. Attorney Alina Habba Launches Federal Election Integrity Task Force in New Jersey

by | Apr 29, 2025

U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba has announced the formation of a federal Election Integrity Task Force, a new initiative aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of elections conducted across the district.

 

The task force will operate in coordination with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and other federal partners to carry out directives established in President Trump’s March 25, 2025 Executive Order on election security.

The task force will include federal prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office and will focus on three primary objectives: facilitating information-sharing among federal, state, and local officials to help remove ineligible individuals from voter rolls; prioritizing the investigation and prosecution of election-related crimes, including voter registration fraud, non-citizen voting, double voting, and foreign interference; and ensuring compliance with federal voter list maintenance requirements under the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act.

Habba underscored the office’s commitment to protecting the electoral process, stating that the task force will use all available tools to enforce federal election laws and hold violators accountable.

Reports of election-related crimes can be submitted by calling the U.S. Attorney’s Office Hotline at (888) 636-6596 or filing a complaint online at https://tips.fbi.gov/home.
