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

This bill amends New Jersey election law to explicitly permit voters to photograph their own voted ballots and share those photos on internet-based social media. It directly affects voters participating in elections using official ballots, clarifying that existing rules prohibiting ballot sharing do not apply to this specific action. The key mechanism is an amendment to R.S.19:34-7, adding that "the provisions of this section shall not be interpreted to prohibit a voter from voluntarily taking a photograph of the voter’s own voted ballot and sharing that photograph." Existing prohibitions remain in place for other actions, such as showing ballots to others or having ballots inspected.
