A 5239 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for distribution of voter information guides under certain circumstances.

This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to mail a standardized "State Voters' Guide" to every registered voter's home at least 45 days before statewide elections. The guide must include election information, candidate statements (with word limits), explanations of public questions, and voter rights details, while ensuring clarity on ballot measures. County clerks may also create and distribute local voter guides for county-level elections, following the same format. The bill mandates electronic access to these guides online and requires special mailing to military or overseas voters who request them. It also prohibits misleading campaign materials that mimic official guides, imposing penalties for violations.
