Requires that election infrastructure vendors disclose financial ties for approval as vendor by Secretary of State; requires report of known or suspected security incidents involving election systems to Division of Elections.
This bill requires all election infrastructure vendors in New Jersey - such as companies providing voting machines, voter databases, or election management systems - to disclose any owners or shareholders with a 5% or greater stake (including parent companies or subsidiaries) to the Secretary of State before approval. Vendors must also report any known or suspected security incidents involving election systems to the Division of Elections within 10 days. Failure to comply results in civil penalties of up to $20,000 for repeated offenses. The law aims to increase transparency around vendor ownership and improve security incident reporting across all election systems used by counties or the state.
