New Jersey A3981 allows primary and school election sample ballots to be sent to voters by email if requested.

New Jersey A3981 permits the district board or commissioner of registration to send primary and school election sample ballots by email to registered voters who request it. The Secretary of State, in collaboration with election officials, must develop standard procedures for this process, including informing voters of the option, maintaining email confidentiality, and allowing voters to switch back to paper ballots if needed. The bill also specifies that voter email addresses will not be public records and must be redacted from documents.
