Permits voter registration up to 14 days before election.

This bill would change New Jersey's voter registration deadline from 21 days to 14 days before an election, allowing eligible voters to register and vote in elections they previously would have missed. The bill directly affects voters who need to register closer to Election Day, particularly those who learn about elections later or need to update their registration information. The key provision amends multiple sections of election law that currently require registration 21 days before an election to instead allow registration up to 14 days before. This change would not affect the existing requirement that voters must reside in a county for 30 days prior to an election to be eligible to vote. The bill would take effect January 1 following enactment.
