S 1715 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes pilot project to permit voters in military service on active duty overseas, and their eligible family members, to vote in certain elections using the Internet; makes appropriation.

S 1715 establishes a one-year pilot program allowing New Jersey voters in military service on active duty overseas, and their eligible spouses or dependents, to cast ballots online in primary and general elections. The bill requires the Secretary of State to develop a secure internet voting system with features ensuring voter authentication, ballot security, privacy, and auditability, while consulting with county election officials and providing public notice. It mandates a post-election report to the Governor and Legislature within 120 days, evaluating whether to discontinue the pilot, expand it, or adopt permanent online voting for this group. The program is funded through a General Fund appropriation and expires after the report is submitted.
