S 167 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

S 167 creates new offenses targeting threats against New Jersey election officials and workers, making it a disorderly persons offense to intimidate them in writing or electronically while performing duties. It also establishes a process allowing election workers (like county clerks or voting staff) to request removal of their personal information - such as home addresses, phone numbers, or photos - from public internet records if they face an imminent safety threat. Workers must submit written requests with evidence of threat to the Division of Elections, which must then remove the information. The bill directly affects election workers and officials by strengthening protections against harassment and enabling privacy safeguards.
