Permits voter to take photograph of own voted ballot and share it on Internet-based social media.

This bill (S 1170) amends New Jersey law to explicitly permit voters to take photographs of their own voted ballots inside polling booths and share those photos on internet-based social media platforms. It directly affects all New Jersey voters by clarifying that existing prohibitions against showing voted ballots do not apply to this personal sharing activity. The key provision adds a specific exception to Section 19:34-7, stating voters may "voluntarily take a photograph of the voter’s own voted ballot and share that photograph on Internet-based social media." This does not change other existing rules about ballot secrecy or prohibit others from requesting to see ballots. The bill is currently pending in the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee.
