A 3578 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires availability of accessible mail-in ballot for voters with disabilities.

This bill requires New Jersey county clerks to provide accessible mail-in ballots to voters with disabilities who request them. It mandates that these ballots include specific accessibility features, such as electronic delivery, audio prompts for blind voters, compatibility with braille displays, and the ability to mark selections electronically. Voters who qualify as "electronic return eligible" (due to blindness, visual impairment, or physical disability preventing ballot handling) may return completed ballots electronically. The bill ensures voters can independently complete, verify, and submit their ballots, with printed materials provided unless electronic return is used, and sets uniform guidelines for election officials.
