Requires outer envelope for mailing of voted mail-in ballot by voter to include postage prepaid.
This bill requires that the outer envelope for mailed-in ballots in New Jersey include prepaid postage, which will be paid for by county clerks and reimbursed by the state. The law applies to all voters submitting mail-in ballots, including those in the state and overseas residents, ensuring their envelopes are ready for mailing without additional postage costs. Additionally, the bill updates procedures for overseas voters by specifying how ballots are packaged and mailed, and it includes updated instructions and fraud warnings for these voters.
