A 403 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits candidates from nomination for more than one elective office at primary or general election.

This bill prohibits candidates from being nominated for more than one elective office in the same primary or general election. It amends New Jersey law to prevent candidates from accepting nominations for multiple offices during a single election cycle, including both primary and general elections. The law also requires the Secretary of State to certify candidates for only one office per election, ensuring no individual appears on ballots for multiple positions simultaneously. This change directly affects candidates seeking multiple offices in the same election, such as running for both state assembly and senate seats in the same election.
