S 1117 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires Secretary of State create website for voters to report irregularities regarding mail-in ballots; establishes "Vote by Mail Study Commission."

This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to create a website where voters can report problems with mail-in ballots they receive, such as ballots sent to deceased or non-resident voters. Voters would submit their contact details and describe issues through a simple form, which automatically forwards to county election officials for investigation. The bill also establishes a 9-member "Vote by Mail Study Commission" to investigate mail-in ballot integrity, including voter roll accuracy and ballot delivery procedures, with public hearings across the state. The commission must submit findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year, while the Secretary of State will annually report aggregated data from the website to lawmakers.
