S 1733 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires registered voters to present identification when voting at polling place.

This bill requires voters in New Jersey to show a valid form of identification before receiving a ballot at a polling place. It directly affects all registered voters who cast ballots in person, mandating that they present an acceptable ID such as a driver's license, passport, or other documents listed in the law. The bill also provides a backup option for voters who cannot produce primary identification by allowing them to use two forms of supplemental ID, such as utility bills or mail showing their address. Additionally, the legislation establishes that voters whose identification does not match their information or who fail to present ID may face challenges to their right to vote, with district boards empowered to examine evidence and determine eligibility.
