New Jersey S1460 mandates that sample ballots for primary and general elections include a watermark and be printed on differently colored paper to.

New Jersey S1460 amends the state's election laws to require that sample ballots for primary and general elections contain a watermark clearly identifying them as sample ballots. These sample ballots must be printed on paper of a different color than the official ballots to ensure they are easily distinguishable. The official primary sample ballot must also state the days, hours, and places where early voting is available. This measure aims to prevent confusion and ensure voters can accurately identify sample ballots as non-voting documents.
