S 2011 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates offenses related to election officials; permits election workers to shield personal information from public.

This New Jersey bill (S 2011) creates criminal penalties for threatening or intimidating election officials and workers, and allows election workers to remove their personal information from public online records. It makes it a crime to intimidate, coerce, or interfere with election workers in their duties (like voting or ballot handling), and prohibits sharing their home addresses, phone numbers, or photos online if it poses a safety threat. Election workers can request the Division of Elections to remove their personal details from public records if they face imminent safety risks. The bill directly affects county/municipal election staff and aims to protect them from harassment while maintaining election integrity.
