Directs Secretary of State to establish grant program for counties to improve paper ballot counting process; appropriates $10 million.

This bill creates a $10 million grant program for New Jersey counties to improve paper ballot counting, specifically for vote-by-mail and provisional ballots. The Secretary of State must survey counties about 2020 election counting issues, develop a plan to address problems, and establish grant application guidelines. County election boards would apply for funds to upgrade their counting processes, with recipients required to report on fund usage. The program expires after the Secretary submits a report on its effectiveness to the Governor and Legislature within three years.
