A 1680 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits voter registration up to 14 days before election.

This bill changes New Jersey's voter registration deadline from 21 to 14 days before an election. It directly affects voters who move within their county before an election but fail to update their registration in time. The key provision amends R.S.19:12-7 to allow voters who move without filing a change of address by the 14th day before the election to still correct their registration and vote using a provisional ballot at their current polling place. The change applies to primary elections, general elections, and school elections. Voters must still notify election officials within the new 14-day window to avoid provisional ballot requirements.
