"Protecting Mail-in Voters Act"; requires those who vote by mail to enclose copy of personal identification.
This bill requires all voters who cast mail-in ballots in New Jersey to enclose a copy of a valid State-accepted photo identification matching their name and current address with their ballot. Voters who fail to include this identification will have their ballots rejected, but will be given the opportunity to "cure" the deficiency by submitting the required ID within a specified timeframe. The bill amends New Jersey's election laws to establish this requirement, including creating a "cure" process for voters with rejected ballots. This change directly affects all mail-in voters in New Jersey elections, with the Secretary of State required to conduct an education campaign to inform voters about these new requirements.
