Prohibits electioneering within 25 feet of person waiting in line at polling place or ballot drop box; makes electioneering a disorderly persons offense.

New Jersey's S 527 prohibits electioneering (such as distributing campaign materials or soliciting support for candidates/parties) within 25 feet of any person waiting in line at a polling place or ballot drop box, making it a misdemeanor. This expands existing law, which already banned such activity within 100 feet of polling sites, to cover lines forming outside that 100-foot zone. The bill exempts newspaper vendors and nonpartisan voter assistance (like explaining ballot procedures) that doesn't support or oppose candidates or issues. It directly affects voters waiting in line, poll workers, and campaign volunteers near voting locations.
