SCR 36 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to provide registered voters with right to cast ballot in person at polling place on election day; requires mail-in ballot request before voter receives mail-in ballot.

SCR 36 proposes a constitutional amendment to guarantee New Jersey registered voters the right to vote in person at their local polling place on election day. It also requires voters to submit a written request before receiving a mail-in ballot, preventing automatic mail-in ballot distribution to all voters. The amendment would bar the state legislature or governor from passing laws or issuing orders that limit in-person voting for those who wish to vote that way or automatically send mail-in ballots to all registered voters. This change would take effect only if approved by voters in the next general election following its submission.
