Extends early voting period for primary elections and May municipal elections.

S 299 extends the early voting period for primary and general elections in New Jersey by starting early voting earlier: for non-presidential primaries, it now begins 11 days before instead of 4 days; for presidential primaries, 11 days before instead of 6 days; and for general elections, 11 days before instead of 10 days. It also allows municipalities holding May municipal elections to adopt early voting with a start date of either 4 or 11 days before the election. Early voting must use machines that produce a paper ballot, and counties must establish a specific number of public locations for voting based on population. This bill directly affects registered voters in New Jersey who participate in these elections.
