A 1195 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes "The Voter Convenience Act" to allow voters to vote at any polling place in their municipality on election day.

This bill, "The Voter Convenience Act," would allow voters in New Jersey municipalities to cast ballots at any polling place within their municipality on election day, rather than being restricted to their specific assigned polling location. It directs the Secretary of State and county election officials to create uniform guidelines enabling electronic check-in (using existing poll books) and automatic ballot assignment to the voter's correct election district at any polling site. Voters would simply walk into any polling place in their municipality, have their identity verified electronically, and receive the correct ballot for their district without needing to go to a specific district table. The bill also permits potential countywide implementation where voters could use designated locations across their entire county.
