Allows registered voters to submit application to vote by mail using online voter registration website maintained by Secretary of State up to seven days before election.
This bill allows New Jersey voters to apply for mail-in ballots online through the Secretary of State's website up to seven days before an election. Voters must provide an email address and valid New Jersey ID details (such as a driver's license number or last four Social Security digits) to verify their identity. The system automatically confirms submissions and provides status updates, eliminating the need for paper forms or in-person requests at the last minute. It directly affects registered voters seeking mail-in ballots, streamlining the application process while maintaining security protocols.
