Allows registered voters to submit application to vote by mail using online voter registration website maintained by Secretary of State up to seven days before election.
This bill allows registered New Jersey voters to apply for a mail-in ballot online up to seven days before an election, using the Secretary of State's secure website. Voters must verify their identity using a New Jersey driver's license number, nondriver ID number, or last four digits of their Social Security number. The online system automatically confirms submissions and provides status updates, while maintaining the same deadline for paper applications. This directly affects all registered voters seeking mail-in ballots, making the application process more accessible without changing eligibility requirements.
