New Jersey A2670 modifies election procedures by permitting county boards of elections to begin canvassing early votes no earlier than 24 hours after the early voting period concludes. Additionally, it allows county boards to start counting mail-in ballots as they are received. The bill emphasizes the need to maintain the security and secrecy of both early votes and mail-in ballots, with any premature disclosure being a crime of the third degree.
