Early indications are for the July 7th primary election to be a mess, mostly based on people’s lack of understanding of emergency procedures, which enable machine voting for disabled voters only who demonstrate certification that they are unable to vote by paper.

Everyone else is paper in person – if they show up to a polling station – and vote-by-mail.

The entire process is still heavily tilted to encourage VBM.

But voters are confused, and think they are voting on machines at the polls.

In a post on the League of Women Voters of New Jersey’s Facebook page, commenter Joseph Atanasio wrote, “You really need to let people know that in person voting will be by ‘Provisional [Paper] Only and that voting machines will only be available to voters who cannot vote by provisional ballot because of a disability….See Below….. Section 10. Any voter who appears at a polling place on the day off the July primary shall vote via a provisional ballot, except that a voter with disabilities may vote on an ADA-accessible voting machine.”
