A 3869 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits electioneering within 25 feet of person waiting in line at polling place or ballot drop box; makes electioneering a disorderly persons offense.

New Jersey's Assembly Bill A3869 prohibits electioneering (such as distributing campaign materials or soliciting support for candidates/parties) within 25 feet of any person waiting in line at a polling place or ballot drop box. It makes this violation a disorderly persons offense, expanding current law that already banned electioneering within 100 feet of polling places or ballot drop boxes. The bill clarifies that newspaper racks, vending machines, and nonpartisan voter assistance (like explaining voting procedures without endorsing candidates) are exempt from this restriction. This change aims to protect voters from undue pressure while waiting to cast ballots.
