Permits voter registration at polling place on election day.
This bill allows eligible voters in New Jersey to register to vote on election day at their assigned polling place. It directly affects voters who missed prior registration deadlines but meet residency requirements (30 days in the county). To register, applicants must present an acceptable ID (like a utility bill or photo ID), complete a form, and sign a written declaration confirming they’re not already registered, live in the county, and won’t vote more than once. The polling place designee issues a temporary certificate for a provisional ballot, and the election commissioner mails confirmation within two days, with verification checks for undelivered notifications.
