Requires certain municipalities to offer early voting.
This bill requires certain municipalities in New Jersey to offer early voting for primary and general elections, with optional early voting for regular May municipal elections if approved by local governing bodies. The law mandates that county boards of elections designate specific public locations for early voting, with the number of sites scaling based on the county's registered voter population, while prohibiting the use of public school buildings for this purpose. Early voting periods are set to begin several days before the election and end two days prior, utilizing electronic poll books and machines that produce paper ballots. Counties must verify voter eligibility during this period, and the state will reimburse municipalities for costs associated with up to a specific limit of early voting locations.
