Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey counties to provide accessible mail-in ballots to voters with disabilities. These ballots will be delivered electronically and designed with features like audio prompts, braille compatibility, and electronic marking capabilities. Voters who are ‘electronic return eligible’ – including those who are blind or have significant visual impairments – can return their ballots electronically. The bill also establishes guidelines for election officials to ensure consistent implementation of these accessibility measures.
