S 2984 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Extends closing time of polling places by one hour.

S 2984 extends the closing time for polling places from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM on election days across New Jersey. This change affects all voters, election officials, and municipal clerk offices that handle election operations on election day. Early voting sites would also extend their hours from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Monday through Saturday and from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM on Sundays. The bill also adjusts the working hours for minors serving at elections, extending their permitted work time until 10:00 PM instead of 9:00 PM. This change aims to provide more flexibility for voters who may need to cast their ballots later in the evening.
