Prohibits use of schools as polling places.
S 2120 prohibits all New Jersey county election boards from selecting or using public schools as polling places for any election. This bill directly affects county election officials, school authorities, and municipal clerks by removing schools from the list of permitted polling locations under state election law. The key mechanism is amending two election statutes (R.S.19:8-2 and R.S.19:8-3) to explicitly state that "a school or schoolhouse shall not be selected or used as a polling place for any election." The bill does not change requirements for accessible polling locations or reimbursement for non-school venues.
