Overview
This bill changes New Jersey’s rules for mail-in ballots. It removes the current law that allowed ballots received after election day to be counted, and it shortens the timeframe for accepting ballots received by mail. Additionally, the bill increases penalties for violating rules about ballot messengers and bearers, and for candidates acting in those roles. These changes aim to strengthen election security and ensure ballots are only counted within the legally defined timeframe.
