New Jersey S1170 allows voters to photograph their own voted ballots and share these photos on social media.

New Jersey S1170 amends current law to clarify that voters can take a photograph of their own voted ballot and share it on Internet-based social media. This change does not affect existing prohibitions against showing or inspecting a voter's ballot. The bill aims to ensure that voters can share their voting experience online without violating secrecy laws.
