Overview
This bill prohibits electioneering within 25 feet of individuals waiting in line at polling places or ballot drop boxes, classifying this action as a disorderly persons offense. It amends existing state law to strengthen restrictions on campaigning near voting locations. The bill also clarifies that certain activities, such as the placement of newspapers and providing nonpartisan voter assistance, are exempt from these restrictions. It ensures consistency by making electioneering a disorderly persons offense rather than a third-degree crime.
