Section 15:10-1.7 - Acceptance and transmittal of applications

(a) Employees of a voter registration agency, charged with the responsibility to provide voter registration opportunity forms and assistance to the applicant, shall accept the application from the applicant when the applicant has determined it is complete. Those applicants who have agreed to the offer of assistance shall be advised if the application is not complete or is unintelligible. Employees of a public agency are required to provide the application, assistance if requested and acceptance of the completed application. Acceptance is for transmittal purposes only. The employee does not determine if the information is acceptable. An applicant may also choose to complete the application and personally mail the form.

(b) Applications completed at a voter registration agency or public agency and given to an employee thereof shall be batched at each office on a weekly basis and sent to the Secretary of State or county commissioner of registration, except that batching shall be done on a daily basis during registration deadline dates.

(c) Upon acceptance of an application, the employee shall mark or stamp the date of receipt on the application.

(d) Any application returned to an employee of a voter registration agency or public agency up to close of business 21 days prior to an election covered under N.J.S.A. Title 19 shall be deemed timely for the purposes of qualifying an eligible applicant as registered for an ensuing election.
