New Jersey A4889 requires the outer envelope for mailing a voted mail-in ballot to include postage prepaid.

New Jersey A4889 amends existing law to require that the outer envelope for mailing a voted mail-in ballot by a voter include postage prepaid. This change ensures that the cost of mailing a voted mail-in ballot is paid by the county and reimbursed by the State. The outer envelopes will have proper and sufficient first-class or air-mail prepaid postage, with costs paid by the county clerk and reimbursed by the State. This bill aims to streamline the process for voters returning their mail-in ballots and prevent any unfunded mandate issues.
