Requires at least one drive-up ballot drop box in each county; requires certain information to be posted at ballot drop boxes and locations.
This bill requires every New Jersey county to install at least one drive-up ballot drop box accessible 24/7, with security cameras and ADA-compliant access. It mandates specific locations for all ballot drop boxes, including county government buildings, municipalities over 5,000 residents, and large colleges/universities, while ensuring at least one box serves areas with lower median incomes. The bill also prohibits boxes within 100 feet of police station entrances (unless pre-approved), bans political materials near boxes, and requires county boards to establish a minimum of 10 secure drop locations per county. These changes directly affect all New Jersey voters who use mail-in ballots, ensuring accessible and secure drop-off options statewide.
