A 3579 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires mail-in ballot applications to include prepaid postage.

This bill requires New Jersey mail-in ballot application forms to include prepaid postage, paid by the state. It directly affects voters who request mail-in ballots by eliminating the need for them to purchase postage when returning the application. The key provision mandates that the Secretary of State's application form must include prepaid postage, ensuring voters can mail their requests without additional cost. The bill amends existing election law to implement this change, with the state covering the postage expense. This is a procedural adjustment to simplify the mail-in ballot request process for voters.
