Requires school districts to close schools on days of general and primary elections.
This bill requires all New Jersey public school districts to close schools on the day of both general elections and primary elections held for those general elections. It directly affects school districts, replacing their current discretion over school calendars with a mandatory closure requirement for these specific election days. The key provision mandates that school boards must close schools on election days, as specified in the bill's text. This change takes effect immediately upon enactment. The bill does not alter voting procedures or election administration, only school operations on election days.
