Summary

The proposed amendments in 230:40-5-46.1 are intended to clarify that the municipal or ward boundaries in effect at the time of the adoption of the resolution calling the election are to be used for ballot preparation and election setup. Under current state law, the resolution deadline for an election can potentially be 75 days before any regular or special federal or state election, and it is impractical and risky to allow for changes to municipal or ward boundaries after an election has been called that affect how election officials conduct ballot preparation and election setup for that election. If there are such changes to the boundaries after the date of the resolution, then affected voters may still cast a provisional ballot when eligibility issues arise, which are rare.
