A 4813 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Changes requirements for persons providing assistance to voters completing mail-in ballots.

This bill modifies New Jersey election laws to regulate how individuals can assist voters with filling out mail-in ballots. It limits non-family helpers to assisting a maximum of three voters per election, while allowing up to five if they are immediate family members living in the same household. Additionally, the legislation requires that any non-family assistant must be a registered voter in the same county as the person they are helping. These changes aim to clarify the rules for ballot assistance and delivery without altering the fundamental right to vote by mail.
