S 1619 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits county board of elections to open certain ballot drop boxes for fire district elections.

This bill expands ballot drop box access specifically for fire district elections in New Jersey. County election boards must establish at least 10 secure, 24/7 accessible ballot drop boxes per county at locations like government buildings, colleges (with >5,000 students), and fire district areas, with weekly ballot retrieval during fire district elections. It requires security cameras at all locations, prohibits political displays within 100 feet, and ensures accessibility compliance. The policy directly affects county election boards (who implement the boxes) and voters participating in fire district elections.
