TRENTON--With one of the most historical elections in American history happening this November, here in New Jersey, lawmakers are thinking about ways to improve the election process.

A bill proposed by three South Jersey lawmakers takes aim at political "robocalls,'' those annoying, automated telephone solicitations directed at voters each fall.

The state statute governing telemarketing calls contains a loophole that excludes most automated political calls.

The proposed legislation aims to close that loophole.

Another measure targets high school seniors as the recipients of voter registration packets before they graduate.

The educational packets would be nonpartisan and would conform to state election laws.
