S 1762 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires availability of accessible mail-in ballot for voters with disabilities.

This bill requires New Jersey county clerks to provide accessible mail-in ballots to voters with disabilities who request them. It mandates that these ballots be delivered electronically and include features like audio instructions, digital marking, and the ability to verify selections before printing or submitting. Eligible voters include those who are blind, have visual impairments preventing standard ballot reading, or have physical disabilities affecting their ability to handle paper ballots. The bill specifies that completed ballots can be printed for mail submission or returned electronically if the voter meets the "electronic return eligible" criteria.
