A 564 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires reporting of provisional ballot data in each election district for primary and general elections.

This bill requires New Jersey county clerks to publicly report provisional ballot data for each election district during primary and general elections, starting on election day instead of the following day. County clerks must provide daily updates online detailing the number of provisional ballots cast, their results, and remaining counts - broken down by district - until the election is certified, with a final report due within 30 days of certification. These reports must be accessible on county websites and include timestamps, noting they are unofficial and subject to change. The bill directly affects election officials (county clerks and boards) and the public, increasing transparency about provisional ballot processing.
