A 2669 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides that municipality only use drop boxes within four mile radius or within discretion of county elections board.

This bill establishes detailed rules for county election boards on placing mail-in ballot drop boxes in New Jersey. It requires each county to install at least 10 drop boxes, with specific locations including county government buildings, municipalities over 5,000 residents, and college campuses. Boxes must be spaced at least 2,000 feet apart, equipped with security cameras, and accessible per disability laws. The bill also prohibits placement within 100 feet of police stations (with limited exceptions) and bans political displays near boxes during elections. These rules directly affect county election boards and voters using mail-in ballots.
