Requires sample ballots to be watermarked as sample ballots.
This New Jersey bill (A2348) requires all official general election and primary election sample ballots to include a clear watermark identifying them as samples. It mandates that sample ballots must also display the exact wording: "This ballot cannot be voted. It is a sample copy of the official general election ballot used on election day" in large type at the top. The bill applies to all voters receiving sample ballots, ensuring they cannot be mistakenly submitted as actual votes. It amends existing election law to add these specific visual and textual identifiers to prevent confusion during voting.
