A 4036 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits blind or physically disabled voters to move to front of line at polling place.

This bill allows blind or physically disabled voters in New Jersey to move to the front of any line at polling places without waiting, ensuring they can cast their ballots more quickly. It directly affects voters with these specific disabilities who choose to vote in person rather than by mail. The law requires polling locations to grant these voters priority access to enter the polling area or booth. The Secretary of State must create implementing rules within the Administrative Procedure Act framework to put this policy into practice.
