New Jersey § 19:53b-5

§ 19:53b-5.

After the district board ascertains that a voter is properly registered and qualified

to vote, the member of the board charged with maintaining the signature copy register

shall require the voter to sign the signature copy register and shall have the voter

sign the part of the two-part perforated voting authority that shall remain bound

in the pad. The member shall record the voting authority number in the proper column of the

signature copy register, except that in a primary for the general election, the member

shall also record the party primary in which the voter voted. In the proper columns, the voter shall sign the reverse side of the signature copy

register and the board member shall initial the signature of the voter. After the voter signs the voting authority, the member of the board in charge of the

signature copy register shall give the voter the unsigned portion of the two-part

voting authority. The voter shall return that portion to the district election board member in charge

of the operation of the voting machine at that time. The member shall place each authority in consecutive order on a string or wire prior

to furnishing a voter with an emergency ballot and a plain white single-hole punched

envelope. No emergency ballot shall be handed to a voter until there is a polling booth ready

for occupancy or, if a booth is unusable, the area designated for voters to mark the

emergency ballot is ready. If a voting area is used, the voter shall be provided with a privacy screen at the

same time that the emergency ballot is provided. The inspector shall instruct the voter how to place the voted emergency ballot into

the pre-punched single-hole plain white envelope.
