Provides for qualified voters who are incarcerated to receive mail-in ballots.
This bill allows qualified voters in New Jersey who are detained or incarcerated for non-indictable offenses or pending trial to request and receive mail-in ballots. It requires the Secretary of State to work with the Department of Corrections to provide ballot applications and ensure ballots are sent to the facility where the voter is held. The legislation also mandates that if a voter is transferred to a different location, the Department of Corrections must facilitate the delivery of the ballot. However, the bill explicitly maintains that individuals convicted of indictable offenses remain ineligible to vote, and any ballots cast by those who later become ineligible are voided.
