Permits voter registration up to 14 days before election.

This bill (S 1542) changes New Jersey's voter registration deadline from 21 to 14 days before elections. It directly affects voters who move within their county shortly before an election, allowing them to update their registration up to 14 days prior instead of 21 days. The key provision replaces the previous 21-day deadline with a 14-day window for registration or address changes, while maintaining the requirement that voters notify officials to avoid provisional ballot restrictions. Voters who move without updating registration before the new deadline can still vote by provisional ballot at their polling place. The change applies to primary, general, and school elections as specified in the amended statute.
