Bill Summary
Eliminates requirement to mail general, primary and school election sample ballots to voters who register to vote by mail.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to eliminate the requirement of mailing sample ballots to voters who register to vote by mail for general, primary, and school elections. Instead of receiving a physical sample ballot, these voters may receive a notice with their polling place information, details on how to obtain a sample ballot if they wish, and potentially a link to a county website where a sample ballot can be viewed online. "The Vote By Mail Law" (P.L.2009, c.79) refers to the existing legislation governing voting by mail in the state. This change aims to streamline the election process and potentially reduce costs associated with printing and mailing sample ballots.
