Requires new voting machines purchased or leased for use in elections in this State to produce voter-verifiable paper record of each vote cast.
This bill requires that any new voting machines purchased or leased for use in New Jersey elections must produce a physical paper record for every vote cast. Voters would be able to verify that the paper record matches their choices before the ballot is processed. The paper record must be preserved for manual audits and would serve as the official tally in the event of a recount. The requirement applies only to new machines, not to existing equipment already in use during elections.
