Extends early voting period for primary elections and May municipal elections.
This bill extends the early voting period for New Jersey primary elections and May municipal elections. It changes the start date from the 4th, 6th, or 10th calendar day before an election to the 11th calendar day before, ending on the second day before the election. Registered voters in all counties can vote at designated early voting sites (3-10 locations per county based on population) using electronic poll books and paper ballots, with municipalities optionally adding early voting for May elections. The bill directly affects all registered voters in New Jersey participating in these specific elections.
