§ 19:14-21.
The county clerk shall cause samples of the official general election ballot to be
printed in English, but for each election district within the county in which the
primary language of 10% or more of the registered voters is Spanish, shall cause samples
of the official general election ballot to be printed bilingually in English and Spanish. a. In counties not having a superintendent of elections where the county board of
elections does not have the equipment or facilities to address and mail sample ballot
envelopes, the county clerk not later than noon of the eighth day prior to the start of the early voting period for the general election shall furnish to the municipal clerk of each municipality in his
county one and one-tenth times as many such sample ballots and stamped envelopes as
there are voters registered, less the number of voters who have been sent a confirmation
notice pursuant to subsection d. of R.S.19:31-15 and have not responded, to enable each municipal clerk to mail one of such sample ballots to each voter who is registered in the municipality,
except those voters who have been sent a confirmation notice pursuant to subsection
d. of R.S.19:31-15 and have not responded, for such election and shall take a receipt for the same from
each of the municipal clerks, which receipt shall indicate the number of such sample
ballots and stamped envelopes delivered by the county clerk and the date and hour
of their delivery. b. In counties having a superintendent of elections, and in other counties where the
county board of elections may have the equipment or facilities to prepare a properly
stamped envelope addressed to each registered voter in the county for mailing, the
county clerk, not later than the eighth day preceding the start of the early voting period for the general election, shall furnish to the commissioner of registration located in his
county one and one-tenth times as many stamped envelopes as there are registered voters
in the county, less the number of voters who have been sent a confirmation notice
pursuant to subsection d. of R.S.19:31-15 and have not responded, and not later than noon of the seventh day preceding the start of the early voting period for the general election shall furnish to the commissioner of registration located in the
county, one and one-tenth times as many sample ballots as there are registered voters
in the county to enable the commissioner of registration of the county to mail one
of such sample ballots to each voter registered in the county, except those voters
who have been sent a confirmation notice pursuant to subsection d. of R.S.19:31-15 and have not responded, for such election and shall take a receipt for the same from
the commissioner of registration, which receipt shall indicate the number of such
sample ballots and stamped envelopes delivered by the county clerk and the date and
hour of their delivery. County boards of elections which elect to operate under the provisions of this paragraph
shall notify their county clerk in sufficient time to enable him to make the necessary
arrangements the first year. c. The county clerk in counties having a superintendent of elections shall also deliver
to the county board not later than the seventh day preceding the start of the early voting period for the general election 10 such sample ballots of each election district of each municipality
in the county. d. During the early voting period for the general election, the county clerk may provide
for the electronic display of sample ballots at each early voting location. If a county clerk elects to provide for the electronic display of sample ballots
