Requires sample ballots to be watermarked as sample ballots.
This bill requires all official sample ballots for general and primary elections in New Jersey to include a clear watermark identifying them as non-voting copies. It mandates that sample ballots must also display the text "This ballot cannot be voted" in large type at the top, along with other standard identifiers like polling place details. The law directly affects voters who receive sample ballots before elections, ensuring they cannot accidentally submit them as valid votes. The key mechanism is the mandatory watermark and prominent labeling to distinguish sample ballots from actual voting ballots.
