A 3220 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits dual elective office holding and holding of elective office and public office or position.

This New Jersey bill prohibits holding multiple elected government positions simultaneously. It removes an exception allowing current officeholders (e.g., state legislators also serving as county officials) to retain dual roles beyond their current term. Effective immediately upon passage, anyone holding more than one elected office must choose one position to keep after their current term ends. The bill also expands the restriction to bar holding an elected position alongside any paid government job (like appointed county or municipal roles), requiring separation after the next term expiration. It directly affects current dual-office holders who must consolidate their roles by the end of their current term.
