Introduced Text

New Jersey S2326 mandates the state to allocate at least half of future federal "Help America Vote Act" funds to replace voting machines with systems.

New Jersey S2326 amends existing law to ensure that at least half of federal funds allocated to the state under the "Help America Vote Act of 2002" over the next 15 years are used to replace current voting machines with systems that provide a paper record of each vote cast. This change aims to enhance the transparency and reliability of the voting process by ensuring a verifiable paper trail for each vote. The bill establishes a special fund in the Department of the Treasury to manage these federal allocations effectively.
