Requires that election infrastructure vendors disclose financial ties for approval as vendor by Secretary of State; requires report of known or suspected security incidents involving election systems to Division of Elections.
S 1405 requires election infrastructure vendors (companies providing voting systems, voter databases, polling technology, or related election services) to disclose all owners or shareholders with a 5% or greater financial interest to the Secretary of State before approval. It also mandates that approved vendors report any known or suspected security incidents involving election systems to the Division of Elections within 10 days. Vendors failing to comply face civil penalties of up to $10,000 for the first offense and $20,000 for subsequent violations. This bill directly affects all companies supplying election technology across New Jersey, aiming to increase transparency and security in election administration.
