S 4487 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill updates New Jersey laws regarding who can help voters fill out mail-in ballots and sets limits on how many voters an assistant can serve. It requires that non-family assistants be registered voters in the same county as the person they are helping and prohibits candidates or anyone campaigning from providing assistance. The legislation also caps the number of voters an assistant can help at three per election, with an exception allowing up to five if the voters are immediate family members living in the same household. Additionally, the bill clarifies rules for authorized messengers who deliver ballots, limiting them to three voters or five if they are immediate family members residing in the same household.
