Introduced Text

New Jersey SCR36 proposes a constitutional amendment to guarantee voters the right to vote in person on election day and to restrict mail-in ballots.

New Jersey SCR36 proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure that registered voters have the right to cast their ballots in person at a polling place on election day. It also mandates that mail-in ballots be sent only to voters who submit a written request. This amendment aims to prevent the Legislature from enacting laws or the Governor from issuing orders that could limit in-person voting or automatically send mail-in ballots to all voters. If approved by voters, this amendment would be added to the New Jersey Constitution.
