Requires county and municipal clerks to publish unofficial list of all persons who filed nominating petitions for primary election within five hours of deadline to file nominating petitions.
This bill requires county and municipal clerks in New Jersey to post an unofficial list of candidates who have submitted nominating petitions for primary elections. The clerks must publish this list on their official websites within five hours after the petition filing deadline expires. This change directly affects election officials and voters, ensuring that information about who is running is available shortly after the filing period closes. The law does not change the rules for who can run or how votes are counted, but it adds a specific timeline for making candidate names public online.
