New Jersey § 19:53c-3

§ 19:53c-3.

Whenever a voter enters a polling place to vote on the day of an election and the

circumstance of that voter matches the circumstance of a voter described in subsection

b. of R.S.19:31-11 , the district board shall query the voter and follow the appropriate procedure herein

described. a. If, at any time, the voter has moved from one residence to another in the same

election district, the board shall permit the voter to vote at that polling place

in the same manner as other voters at the polling place upon written affirmation by

the voter to the district board. b. If the voter has moved within a municipality but currently resides in an election

district different from that listed for the voter by the commissioner of registration,

the district board shall direct the voter to the appropriate election district and

polling place for the voter and inform that person that: (1) the person must go to

that polling place to vote; and (2) the person will be permitted to vote thereat

by provisional ballot after completing an affirmation statement. c. If the voter has moved within the county but currently resides in a municipality

different from that listed for the voter by the commissioner of registration, the

district board shall determine the appropriate election district and polling place

for the voter and inform that person that: (1) the person must go to that polling

place to vote; and (2) the person will be permitted to vote thereat by provisional

ballot after completing an affirmation statement. d. If, on or before the 21st day prior to the day of the election, the voter has moved into the county from another

county or state and has not registered to vote in that county, the board shall inform

the voter that he is not eligible to vote in that county at that election. e. If, after the 21st day prior to the day of an election, the voter has moved into the county from another

county in this State, the board shall inform the voter that: (1) the voter is not

eligible to vote in the county where he resides currently at that election; and (2)

the voter may be eligible to vote in the election district where the voter resided

prior to moving to the voter's current residence. f. If the voter's registration information has been marked by the county commissioner

of registration to indicate a problem therewith, or if the voter's sample ballot has

been returned as undeliverable to the county or municipal clerk, as the case may be,

but the voter states that the voter has not moved prior to the day of an election,

but instead continues to reside at the same address the voter resided at when voting

previously, the voter shall be permitted to vote in such election district in the

same manner as other voters at the polling place upon written affirmation to the district

board of that election district. g. If the voter's registration information is missing, the voter shall be permitted

to vote by provisional ballot after completing the affirmation statement attached

to the envelope provided with the provisional ballot. h. In accordance with the requirements of subsection (c) of section 302 of Pub.L.107-252 ( 42 U.S.C. s.15482 ), whenever a voter is voting as a result of a federal or State court order or any

other order extending the time established for closing the polls in effect 10 days

before the date of an election, the voter may vote only by provisional ballot. Any such ballot shall be separated by the county board from other provisional ballots

cast at the election and the results shall be canvassed and recorded separately in

the official canvas for the election. i. Any person who, pursuant to subsection b. of R.S.19:15-17 , votes by provisional ballot at the polling place because of his or her failure to

provide required personal identification information shall be given until the close

of business on the second day after the election to provide the applicable county

commissioner of registration with the identification information. Failure to provide the required personal identification information within that

time period shall result in the rejection of the ballot. j. If the voter (1) has applied for a mail-in ballot and not received either the ballot

or an explanation for not receiving such a ballot pursuant to notification by the

county clerk or from the free-access system established pursuant to section 5 of P.L.2004, c. 88 ( C.19:61-5 ) to provide such information; or (2) has applied for and received a mail-in ballot

and has not transmitted it to the county board of elections or given it to a bearer

for delivery to the county board before the time for the opening of the polls on the

day of an election, the voter shall be permitted to vote at that election by provisional

ballot after completing the affirmation statement attached to the envelope provided

with the provisional ballot.
