S 1713 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires voter who wishes to vote by mail to complete application for mail-in ballot each calendar year; repeals automatic vote-by-mail designation.

This bill changes New Jersey's mail-in voting process by requiring voters to submit a new application for mail-in ballots each calendar year. Previously, voters who signed up once received mail-in ballots automatically for all elections during that year. The bill repeals the existing automatic designation and instead mandates that voters check a box on their annual registration form to request mail-in ballots. This affects all registered voters who choose to vote by mail, as they must now reapply yearly to maintain this voting method.
