Requires do not forward label on mail-in ballot envelopes; allows mail-in voter to cure mail-in ballot due to missing or detached certificate; requires certain voter data be entered into voter file within 30 days.
This bill requires "Do Not Forward" labels on mail-in ballot envelopes to prevent delivery to incorrect addresses. It allows voters to "cure" their ballot if the required certificate is missing or detached, without losing their vote. Additionally, it mandates that county clerks enter specific voter data (like ballot return reasons) into voter files within 30 days. These changes directly affect New Jersey mail-in voters and county election offices, streamlining ballot handling and reducing rejection risks. The bill amends existing election laws to standardize return procedures and improve voter record accuracy.
