Chapter 8: Location
Section: 19:8-7: Booths; size; doors or curtains; shelf; privacy sleeves, folders.
19:8-7. The booths shall be sufficiently large to enable the voter to conveniently prepare the voter's ballot as provided for and shall have swinging doors or privacy screens, shields, or curtains so that privacy is maintained as the voter prepares the voter's ballot in secret and screened from the observation of others.
The swinging doors or privacy screens, shields, or curtains shall be so arranged that some part of the person of the voters present in the booths may be seen from the outside thereof when the door or curtains are closed or when the voter is present behind the screens or shields.
Each booth shall contain a counter or shelf suitably placed to enable voters to place their ballots thereon while preparing the same for voting. Each booth shall also contain privacy sleeves or folders into which the voter may insert the voted ballot to fully shield it from view while walking the ballot outside the booth to be scanned or cast, as the case may be.
amended 2022, c.67, s.2.
