ACR 65 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to provide registered voters with right to cast ballot in person at polling place on election day; requires mail-in ballot request before voter receives mail-in ballot.

ACR 65 proposes a constitutional amendment to guarantee New Jersey registered voters the right to vote in person at their local polling place on election day. It would also require voters to submit a written request before receiving a mail-in ballot, preventing automatic distribution of mail-in ballots to all voters. This amendment would bar the Legislature or Governor from passing laws or issuing orders that limit in-person voting or automatically send mail-in ballots. If approved by voters, the changes would become part of the state constitution. The bill is currently in the early stages of review by the Assembly committee.
