A 4960 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes municipal election mobile voting pilot program.

This New Jersey bill creates a pilot program to test mobile voting in municipal elections, allowing voters to cast ballots electronically via a secure system. The program requires the Secretary of State to hire a vendor to build a platform that uses strong security measures like encryption and biometric verification while ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities. Participating municipalities must notify eligible voters about the option and have backup plans in place if the technology fails. The pilot will run for eight years, with officials required to submit detailed reports on its effectiveness to the Secretary of State, the Governor, and the Legislature.
