A 3200 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires do not forward label on mail-in ballot envelopes; allows mail-in voter to cure mail-in ballot due to missing or detached certificate; requires certain voter data be entered into voter file within 30 days.

This bill requires New Jersey mail-in ballot envelopes to have "Do Not Forward. Return to Sender. Return Postage Guaranteed" printed on them. It allows voters to correct ballots with missing or detached "Certificate of Mail-in Voter" documents by providing a substitute certificate. County clerks must forward returned ballots to election officials within 30 days, and the Secretary of State must create instructions for returning ballots. These changes aim to reduce ballot rejections due to minor errors in the mail-in voting process. The bill directly affects mail-in voters, county election offices, and the processing of returned ballots.
