On April 6, the governor signed A4745/S420, which permits extension of the early voting period for regular municipal elections in May.
This legislation authorizes municipalities that hold nonpartisan elections in May to start early voting eight days before Election Day, extending the early voting window by four days. Early voting will still end two days before the election, giving voters a total of seven days to vote early.
This extension will give voters additional opportunities to vote early in non-partisan municipal elections and bring the early voting period for these elections into closer alignment with the period for state and federal elections.
