Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 19:15-5, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 19:15-5.
If at any election the ballots to be furnished therefor shall not be delivered at
the time above mentioned, or if after delivery they shall be destroyed or stolen and
other official ballots cannot be obtained in time for such election, the clerk of
the county or municipality, or the district board, as the case may require, shall
cause other ballots to be prepared as nearly in the form heretofore prescribed as
practicable, but without the indorsement on the top. Upon the receipt of ballots thus prepared from the clerk of the county or municipality,
accompanied by a statement, under oath, of the person preparing the same, that they
have been so prepared and furnished because the original ballots have so failed to
be received or have been destroyed or stolen, and that other official ballots could
not be obtained in time for such election, or where the district board has caused
such unofficial ballots to be prepared, the board shall cause the ballots so substituted
to be used at the election.
