A 192 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits use of private funds and personnel in governmental offices and procedures pertaining to administration of elections; establishes crimes and penalties for violations.

This bill prohibits New Jersey government entities (including counties, municipalities, and school districts) from accepting or using private funds or personnel for election administration, such as voter registration or counting ballots. It specifically bans private entities - like corporations, nonprofits, or political parties - from funding election work or appointing individuals to supervise election processes, including decisions about ballot eligibility. Violations would be punishable as a third-degree crime. The law exempts funds from state or federal governments but aims to prevent private influence over public election procedures.
