Prohibits approval of voting machine or voting system if vendor is foreign company, if domestic vendor exports technology overseas, or due to major non-citizen ownership.
New Jersey Assembly Bill A412 prohibits the Secretary of State from approving voting machines or systems from vendors that are foreign companies, domestic companies exporting voting technology overseas, or companies with significant foreign ownership (major shareholders who are non-U.S. citizens). It requires all qualifying vendors to be U.S.-based and mandates annual compliance reviews for contractors before primary elections. The bill also requires thorough vendor vetting during all procurement processes for voting systems. Existing contracts approved before the law's effective date remain valid until expiration, with new contracts subject to these rules.
