S 296 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires mail-in ballot applications to include prepaid postage.

This bill requires mail-in ballot application forms to include prepaid postage, paid by the State, so voters no longer need to purchase stamps when returning their completed forms. It directly affects voters who apply for mail-in ballots by mail, removing a cost barrier to requesting ballots. The requirement will be implemented after the 2023 primary election as part of amendments to New Jersey's election law. The bill ensures that the cost of mailing applications does not fall on voters.
