S 1876 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits mail-in ballot outer envelope from containing political affiliation or designation visible to public.

This New Jersey bill (S 1876) prohibits election officials from printing any visible political party affiliation or designation on the outside of mail-in ballot envelopes. It directly affects voters receiving mail-in ballots and election officials responsible for distributing them. The key provision amends existing election laws to require that both the outer envelope and the mailing envelope for ballots must not display political party information on their exterior. This applies to all mail-in ballots for primaries and general elections, ensuring the envelope's appearance remains neutral and private. The bill does not change ballot content or voting procedures, only the design of the envelope used for mailing.
