Establishes "New Jersey Elections Security Act."
This bill requires New Jersey counties to replace electronic voting machines with paper ballot systems when updating equipment, directly affecting counties managing elections. It mandates features like voter-marked paper ballots (handwritten or via certified devices), statistical audits of election results, and two-year retention of physical ballots for verification. The law also establishes a 12-member Election Security Commission to oversee implementation and sets federal compliance standards for voting equipment. Funding for new systems may come from state appropriations or federal grants, with counties allowed to sell decommissioned equipment to offset costs.
