Introduced Text

New Jersey S3469 mandates that new voting machines purchased or leased for state elections must produce a voter-verifiable paper record for each vote.

New Jersey S3469 amends existing law to require that new voting machines purchased or leased for use in state elections produce a voter-verifiable paper record for each vote cast. This paper record must be available for inspection and verification by the voter at the time the vote is cast and preserved for any manual audit. In the event of a recount, the voter-verified paper record serves as the official tally. The bill also prohibits the use of mechanical lever machines or punch cards to record votes.
