Prohibits placing primary election candidates into political party lines on primary ballot.

This New Jersey bill (S 1566) changes how primary election ballots list candidates. It prohibits placing candidates from the same political party seeking the same office into rows or columns that indicate party endorsement on the ballot. However, it allows candidates from the same party to be grouped together under their specific office name. The rule applies to all primary elections for general offices starting January 1, 2025, after enactment.
