Requires do not forward label on mail-in ballot envelopes; allows mail-in voter to cure mail-in ballot due to missing or detached certificate; requires certain voter data be entered into voter file within 30 days.

New Jersey's S 847 requires mail-in ballot envelopes to display a "Do Not Forward" label and return instructions for voters receiving ballots at outdated addresses. It allows voters to "cure" ballots with missing or detached certificates by submitting corrections within a specified timeframe. The bill also mandates that county clerks enter voter data related to returned ballots into official records within 30 days of receipt. These changes aim to streamline mail-in ballot processing and reduce rejection rates for eligible voters.
