Allows candidates for Senate and General Assembly to appear together in same nominating petition.
This bill allows candidates for New Jersey's Senate and General Assembly who represent the same legislative district and belong to the same political party to combine their names on a single nomination petition. It directly affects state legislative candidates seeking primary or general election nominations in the same district. The key change permits these candidates to share one petition instead of requiring separate petitions, though it does not alter the required number of signatures. This simplifies the petition process for candidates running together in the same district and party, without changing other election rules.
