S 4276 New Jersey Senate · 2022-2023 Regular Session

Provides an excused absence for pupil who serves as poll worker on election day.

This bill (S 4276) allows public school students aged 16 or older in New Jersey to miss school on election days for paid poll worker duties without penalty. It requires schools to record such absences as "excused" on attendance records and prohibits counting them toward perfect attendance requirements. Students must provide documentation (like a poll worker confirmation) to school officials to verify eligibility. The policy directly affects student voters participating in election administration, ensuring their school attendance records reflect this civic engagement positively.
