Provides primary and school election sample ballots may be sent to registered voter by electronic mail if so requested.
This bill (S 1205) allows registered voters in New Jersey to request receiving primary and school election sample ballots via email instead of regular mail. It directly affects voters eligible for these elections who choose to opt into electronic delivery. Key provisions require voters to provide their physical address when requesting email delivery, mandate election officials to send a paper copy if email fails, and prohibit public access to voters' email addresses (treating them as confidential, not public records). The Secretary of State must also create procedures to inform voters about this option, maintain email privacy, and allow voters to switch back to paper ballots if desired.
