Requires free parking at polling places on election day in New Jersey.

This bill mandates that polling places in New Jersey provide free parking on election day. It amends existing law to ensure that each polling place selected is accessible to individuals with disabilities and the elderly, in compliance with the "Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990." The county board must contact managers or owners of suitable commercial or private buildings to use them as polling places, with reimbursement for their use. Each polling place must also have onsite parking available free of charge.
