Extends early voting period for primary elections and May municipal elections.
This bill extends the early voting period for primary and general elections in New Jersey by setting the start date at 11 calendar days before the election, up from 4 days for non-presidential primaries, 6 days for presidential primaries, and 10 days for general elections. It also allows municipalities holding May municipal elections to adopt an ordinance extending their early voting start date to 11 days before the election (from the current 4 days). The change provides voters with more time to cast ballots early, without altering the end date (second calendar day before the election). This directly affects all registered voters participating in these elections across New Jersey.
