Requires county clerks to send applications for mail-in ballots to registered voters upon their 18th birthday.

This bill requires New Jersey county clerks to automatically send mail-in ballot applications to registered voters who are 17 years old upon reaching their 18th birthday. It directly affects 17-year-old registered voters who will turn 18 before the next general election. The key provision mandates that clerks mail these applications on the voter’s 18th birthday, rather than requiring voters to request them separately. The state will reimburse counties for any additional costs from implementing this change. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
