SCR 23 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Proposes constitutional amendment to provide registered voters with right to cast ballot in person at polling place on election day; requires mail-in ballot request before voter receives mail-in ballot.

SCR 23 proposes a constitutional amendment to guarantee New Jersey registered voters the right to vote in person at their local polling place on election day. It would require voters to submit a written request before receiving a mail-in ballot, preventing automatic mail-in ballot distribution to all registered voters. This amendment, if approved by voters, would establish these voting rights in the state constitution and bar future laws or executive orders from limiting in-person voting or sending mail ballots without a specific request. It directly affects all registered voters in New Jersey who qualify to vote.
