A 190 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires voter who wishes to vote by mail to complete application for mail-in ballot each calendar year; repeals automatic vote-by-mail designation.

This bill requires New Jersey voters who want to receive mail-in ballots to submit a new application each calendar year, replacing the previous automatic mail-in voting designation. It directly affects all voters who currently receive mail-in ballots without reapplying annually. The key change repeals the automatic mail-in voting provision (from P.L.2018, c.72) and mandates that voters affirm their mail-in ballot preference on the registration form each year. This shifts the responsibility from a default system to an annual opt-in process for mail-in voting.
