Permits party member, candidate, or designee to be present for ballot position draw and inspect materials used for drawing; requires officials conducting ballot draw to provide notice of date, time, and location of drawing.

S 3598 requires New Jersey election officials to allow political party members or candidates (or their designees) to attend ballot position drawings and inspect the materials used, such as paper slips, capsules, and drawing boxes. It mandates that officials provide at least 72 hours' written notice of the drawing's date, time, and location to all affected candidates and parties before any ballot position draw. This applies to primary elections, general elections (for party column placement), and school board elections. The bill ensures greater transparency by giving participants direct oversight of the drawing process.
