A 4253 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Extends closing time of polling places by one hour.

This New Jersey bill extends the closing time of polling places from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM for general and primary elections. It also extends early voting hours to 9:00 PM on weekdays and 7:00 PM on Sundays, and requires municipal clerk offices to remain open until 9:00 PM on election days. The bill additionally extends the hours minors aged 16-18 can work at polling places from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM. These changes provide more flexibility for voters who may need to cast ballots later in the evening. The bill directly affects voters, election officials, and minor workers at polling locations.
