Extends closing time of polling places by one hour.

New Jersey S2984 extends the closing time of polling places by one hour. Under current law, polling places open at 6:00 A.M. and close at 8:00 P.M. This bill changes the closing time to 9:00 P.M. The bill also extends the time for which minors between 16 and 18 years of age serving at an election are required to stop, changing the time from 9:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. to account for the later poll closing time. This change aims to provide more flexibility for voters who choose to vote in the evening hours.
