New Jersey A287 allows voters to photograph their own voted ballots and share those photographs on Internet-based social media.
New Jersey A287 amends the state's election laws to clarify that voters may take a photograph of their own voted ballot and share it on Internet-based social media. This change does not affect existing laws that prohibit voters from showing their ballots to others or from inspecting another voter's ballot. The bill specifies that these provisions should not be interpreted to prohibit a voter from photographing and sharing their own ballot. Any violation of these provisions is a crime of the fourth degree.
