This bill amends R.S.19:8-2 to require that all polling places selected for elections in New Jersey must have onsite parking available free of charge. This new requirement is in addition to existing provisions that prioritize the selection of schools and public buildings as polling places and ensure that these locations are accessible to individuals with disabilities and the elderly, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

The bill emphasizes that the authorities in charge of public schools or other public buildings cannot deny the county board's request to use their facilities as polling places. This change aims to enhance voter accessibility and convenience on election day by ensuring that voters have free parking options at polling locations. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
