The amendment eliminated the words “idiot” and “insane” and replaced them with more appropriate language to describe people who lack the capacity to understand the act of voting.  This public question was  HYPERLINK "http://www.nj.gov/oag/elections/2007results/public-question-4-right-to-vote-2007.pdf" \o "http://www.nj.gov/oag/elections/2007results/public-question-4-right-to-vote-2007.pdf" #4 on the state-wide ballot – and one of only two that were approved by the electorate. This was a tremendous victory for individuals with mental illness and developmental disabilities. It also was an achievement for those who advocate on their behalf. Words can be very powerful. The offensive language – deleted on Election Day -- date back to suffrage provisions in the 1844 NJ State Constitution. This was during a time when disabilities were seen and treated in a much different manner. The continued use of such archaic terminology only served to protract the stigma through to 2007. In the last 163-years, technologies, medical interventions and researchers have given us a better understanding of mental illness and developmental disabilities. Nationally, nearly 44 million individuals will have an experience with mental illness and about 3 to 5 million will have a developmental disability. And because of inaccurate stereotyping, persons with a mental illness or developmental disability are more likely to be unjustly perceived as unemployable and/or dangerous. In fact, statistics show that these individuals are more apt to be targets of crime than they are to commit one. The approval of Public Question #4 is a wonderful example of the education and advocacy work performed by scores of individuals with mental illness and developmental disabilities, their families, advocates, and stakeholders. Many thanks to them and to the voters for their support. DIVISION NEWS DHS Public Service Announcement on behalf of the Department of Children & Family Services “Open your heart and your home”.
