Extends early voting period for primary elections and extends challenger appointment deadline; appropriates $6 million.

This New Jersey bill would extend the early voting period for primary elections to begin 7 days before the election (currently 4 days for non-presidential primaries and 6 days for presidential primaries), creating a 6-day voting window. It also extends the deadline for appointing election challengers from the second to the third Tuesday before an election. The bill appropriates $6 million from the General Fund to support these changes, requiring county boards to adjust early voting locations based on population size. These changes would directly affect voters participating in primary elections and county election officials responsible for implementation.
