Permits voter registration up to 14 days before election.
S 237 changes New Jersey's voter registration deadline, allowing eligible voters to register or update their address up to 14 days before an election (previously 21 days). This directly affects voters who move within the same county and need to correct their registration close to an election. The bill amends a statute requiring counties to publish election notices, updating the deadline for notifying election officials of a move to 14 days before the election. Voters who haven't updated their address by this deadline can still vote by provisional ballot at their current polling place. The policy change aims to provide more time for registration updates without altering election administration procedures.
