Changes number of signatures required on primary election petition to nominate certain municipal candidates in certain municipalities.

This bill changes signature requirements for candidates seeking nomination in municipal primary elections in New Jersey. It specifies that in municipalities with fewer than 7,000 residents (based on the latest federal census), candidates must collect signatures equal to at least 5% of the total votes cast in the previous primary election for that party's General Assembly candidates. This applies only to full-municipality petitions, not to wards or election districts - which retain the existing 5% rule. The change affects candidates running for local office in smaller towns, requiring them to gather fewer signatures than under previous thresholds for those specific municipalities.
