A 3706 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires certain information to increase public awareness and use of voting by mail; requires certain mail-in ballots received by county board within 48 hours be considered valid; requires certain mail-in ballots to be retained.

This bill requires county boards and municipal clerks to display voting-by-mail information and application forms at all polling places, including posters prepared by the Secretary of State. It mandates that mail-in ballots received by county boards within 48 hours of an election are considered valid, and that certain mail-in ballots must be retained for record-keeping. Additionally, county clerks must include printed instructions with each mail-in ballot, explaining how to prepare, send, and check the ballot's status online. These changes aim to improve transparency and accessibility for voters using mail-in ballots.
