A 3981 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides primary and school election sample ballots may be sent to registered voter by electronic mail if so requested.

This bill allows New Jersey registered voters to request receiving primary and school election sample ballots via email instead of postal mail. Voters must provide their physical address when requesting electronic delivery, and election officials must send paper copies if email delivery fails. The bill protects voter email addresses as confidential (not public records) and requires the Secretary of State to create procedures for implementation, including informing voters of the option and allowing them to switch back to paper mail. It directly affects voters eligible for primary or school elections who choose electronic delivery. The policy change takes effect immediately but excludes elections within 30 days of enactment.
