Introduced Text

New Jersey S3815 establishes a public awareness campaign about USPS postmark rules and mail-in ballots, and evaluates ballot drop box placement.

New Jersey S3815 establishes a public awareness campaign to inform voters about the United States Postal Service postmark rules and their impact on mail-in ballots. The campaign will explain the USPS postmark definition, the potential for postmarks to be applied on dates other than when mail was provided to the USPS, and the consequences of a postmark date being later than the mailing date. It will also inform voters about the option to deposit mail-in ballots in ballot drop boxes or request a manual postmark.
