Prohibits purchase and installation of entirely new voting systems in Presidential election years.
This bill prohibits New Jersey counties from purchasing or installing entirely new voting systems (including machines, tabulators, and software) in the same calendar year as a U.S. presidential election. It directly affects county election officials (county clerks) and election administration. The law allows counties to replace broken, outdated, or defective equipment but bans entirely new systems during presidential election years. The intent is to prevent potential logistical disruptions during high-turnout elections. Exceptions explicitly permit equipment upgrades to maintain existing systems.
