§ 19:8-3.

The county board may select the schoolhouse or schoolhouses, public building or public

buildings as the polling places in any municipality in the county whether or not such

schoolhouses or public buildings are located within the election district for which

the polling place is established; and shall designate the rooms or places, entrances

and exits to be used in the schoolhouses or public buildings. The county board may select a polling place other than a schoolhouse or public building

for an election district, when the location of the election district and of the schoolhouses

and public buildings in the municipality in which the election district is located

is such that inconvenience would be caused the voters of such election district by

locating the polling place thereof in a schoolhouse or public building. In the selection of a polling place other than a schoolhouse or public building

for an election district, consideration shall be given to the use of buildings accessible

to individuals with disabilities and the elderly . The county board shall determine and certify to the board of chosen freeholders the

amount to be paid the several boards of education or municipalities, as the case may

be, for expenses in connection with the use of schoolhouses or public buildings for

election purposes; not to exceed in any case the amount paid for polling places in

private premises.
