This bill amends New Jersey election law to require that both official general election sample ballots and official primary election sample ballots include a watermark that clearly identifies them as sample ballots. The amendments specify that the sample ballots must be printed on paper of a different color than the official ballots to ensure they can be easily distinguished. Additionally, the bill mandates that the sample ballots include specific language indicating that they cannot be voted on and provide information about early voting days, hours, and locations.

The legal language changes include the insertion of requirements for the watermark and the specific wording to be printed on the sample ballots. For general election sample ballots, the bill states that they must include the phrase: "This ballot cannot be voted. It is a sample copy of the official general election ballot used on election day." Similarly, for primary sample ballots, the bill requires the phrase: "This official primary sample ballot is an exact copy of the official primary ballot to be used on primary election day. This ballot cannot be voted." These changes aim to enhance the clarity and security of the voting process.
