This bill amends R.S.19:8-2 to require that all polling places selected for elections in New Jersey must provide free onsite parking for voters on election day. Currently, the law emphasizes the selection of polling places in schools and public buildings, ensuring they are accessible to individuals with disabilities and the elderly in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The new provision mandates that, in addition to these existing requirements, free parking must be available at each polling location.

The bill also clarifies that authorities in charge of public schools or buildings cannot deny the county board's request to use their facilities as polling places. This change aims to enhance voter accessibility and convenience, thereby encouraging higher voter turnout on election day. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
