Requires Secretary of State create website for voters to report irregularities regarding mail-in ballots; establishes "Vote by Mail Study Commission."
This bill requires New Jersey's Secretary of State to create a website where voters can report problems with mail-in ballots they receive, such as ballots sent to deceased or non-resident voters. The website would let voters provide their contact details and describe issues, with reports automatically sent to local election officials for follow-up. It also establishes a nine-member "Vote by Mail Study Commission" to investigate mail-in voting irregularities, including how to prevent duplicate ballots or mailings to inactive voters. The commission must hold public hearings across the state and submit findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within one year.
