A 241 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows appointment of challengers to any election district within congressional or legislative district where challenger resides.

This bill changes New Jersey election rules for appointing challengers (observers who monitor voting procedures). Currently, challengers must be registered voters in the specific county where they serve. The bill removes this county restriction, allowing registered voters in *any* county within a congressional or legislative district to serve as challengers in *any* election district across that entire district. For example, a registered voter in Morris County could serve as a challenger in an election district in Sussex or Warren County if all are within the same congressional or legislative district. The change applies to all elections where challengers are permitted under state law.
