S 2900 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill (S 2900) amends New Jersey law to explicitly permit voters to take photographs of their own voted ballots in polling booths and share those photos on internet-based social media. It directly affects voters who choose to photograph and share their ballots, clarifying that existing prohibitions on showing ballots do not apply to this specific action. The key provision modifies Section 19:34-7 to state that voters may "voluntarily take a photograph of the voter’s own voted ballot and share that photograph on Internet-based social media" without violating current ballot secrecy rules. The law does not change other ballot secrecy rules, such as prohibitions on showing ballots to others or inspecting them.
