N.J. Stat. Ann. § 11A:9-4

Refusal to comply. If the clerk refuses or neglects to comply with the provisions of N.J.S. 11A:9-2 and N.J.S. 11A:9-3, a registered voter of the political subdivision or the commissioner may apply to a judge of the Superior Court in the county in which the political subdivision is located for an order directing and compelling the submission of the question involved in the petition. The judge shall hear the matter summarily. If the judge finds and determines that the petition is in accordance with law, an appropriate order shall be issued. Any clerk failing to comply with the order of the court, or any public official, officer, agent or employee interfering with, or preventing, such clerk from satisfying such order, shall be guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.
