A 363 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits State and county boards of election to purchase or lease decomissioned letter collection boxes for use as ballot drop boxes.

This bill allows New Jersey's state and county election boards to buy or lease old USPS mailboxes (decommissioned letter collection boxes) for use as secure ballot drop boxes during elections. It requires these repurposed mailboxes to meet safety and security standards set by the Secretary of State. The law directly affects election officials who manage voting locations and ballot collection, providing a new option for accessible drop box locations. It does not change voting rules or procedures, only expands the types of secure containers that can be used for ballot drop-off.
