This bill amends current law regarding the process for vote-by-mail applications in New Jersey. Specifically, it requires county clerks to send a confirmation notice to applicants who request that their mail-in ballot be sent to a different mailing address than their registered voting address. The confirmation notice must inform the applicant of the separate mailing address and provide instructions on how to address any inaccuracies or false requests related to the mail-in ballot.

Previously, while applicants could request a mail-in ballot to be sent to a different address, there was no requirement for county clerks to notify them at their registered address about this request. The new legal language inserted into the law mandates this confirmation process, ensuring that applicants are aware of where their ballots will be sent and have a means to correct any issues. This change aims to enhance the integrity and transparency of the vote-by-mail process.
