Allows mail-in voter to cure mail-in ballot due to missing certificate.
This bill allows New Jersey mail-in voters to correct their ballot if they forget to include the required "Certificate of Mail-in Voter" on their ballot envelope. County election boards must send a "cure letter" with a simple form within 24 hours of rejecting a ballot for a missing certificate, giving voters up to 48 hours before election results are certified to fix the error. Voters can verify their identity using a New Jersey driver's license number, last four Social Security digits, or a utility bill - without needing to swear an affidavit or submit hard-copy ID. The bill ensures mail-in ballots won't be rejected solely for minor signature variations and requires county boards to process these corrections weekly before elections.
