Requires new voting machines purchased or leased for use in elections in this State to produce voter-verifiable paper record of each vote cast.

This bill requires all new voting machines purchased or leased in New Jersey to produce a permanent paper record for every vote cast. Voters would be able to verify their selections on this paper record at the time of voting, and the record would be preserved for audits or recounts. In the event of a recount, the paper record would serve as the official vote tally. The requirement applies only to machines acquired after the bill's effective date, with limited waivers possible if federal funding isn't secured or state appropriations aren't available.
