Former NJ Dem candidate admits forging nearly 1,000 voter registration applications
Published on May 2, 2026.
Henrilynn Ibezim, a former Democratic mayoral candidate in New Jersey, has pleaded guilty to forging nearly 1,000 voter registration applications during the 2021 Democratic primary for Plainfield, New Jersey. The applications were completed in the handwriting of only three or four individuals, and were not marked as completed by someone other than the voter they were supposed to represent. Iebzim also attempted to coach a witness who helped fill out the applications on how to respond to law enforcement questions. Despite his efforts, IBezim received only 103 votes in the primary and lost to Plainfield’s current mayor, Adrian O. Mapp. He is due for sentencing in June.
