Requires new voting machines purchased or leased for use in elections in this State to produce voter-verifiable paper record of each vote cast.

This bill requires all new voting machines purchased or leased for use in New Jersey elections to produce a permanent paper record for every vote cast. Voters must be able to verify their paper record at the time of voting, and these records become the official tally in any election recount. The requirement applies to machines acquired after the bill's effective date, though it may be temporarily suspended if sufficient federal or state funds aren't secured for implementation. Existing machines in use before the bill's effective date are exempt from the new requirement.
