S 1257 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits use of uniform ballot for emergency and provisional ballot purposes.

This bill allows New Jersey election officials to use a single uniform ballot for both emergency ballots (when voting machines fail) and provisional ballots (for voters who've moved but still vote at their old address). Currently, separate ballot sets are required for each purpose, but this bill permits one standardized form to replace both. All existing procedures for handling these ballots - including verification processes and counting methods - remain unchanged. The change aims to simplify ballot preparation and reduce errors during elections.
