A 730 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires blank nominating petition forms for municipal candidates to be made available only from municipal clerks.

This bill requires that blank nominating petition forms for municipal candidates (those running for local office within a single municipality) be available only from the municipal clerk's office, not from county clerks, websites, or other sources. It applies to both primary and general election petitions for local races. Currently, some counties distribute these forms through county offices or online, but this bill would end that practice, directing all requests solely to the relevant municipal clerk. The change aims to standardize the process for obtaining these forms at the municipal level.
