New Jersey S1614 mandates at least one drive-up ballot drop box per county, ensuring accessibility and posting specific information.

New Jersey S1614 amends existing law to require county boards of elections to establish at least one drive-up ballot drop box in each county. This drive-up ballot drop box must be designed with accessible features, including sufficient vehicle turning radius, curb cuts, handicap parking, and an unimpeded path to the box. The bill also mandates that all ballot drop boxes be clearly marked as "Official Ballot Drop Box" and post specific information, such as penalties for tampering, a toll-free voter hotline, and a statement that no postage is necessary.
