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.
This bill requires New Jersey county clerks to give political parties and candidates 72 hours' notice of ballot position drawing dates, times, and locations. It allows each party member, candidate, or their designee to inspect the paper slips, sealed capsules, and drawing box before, during, and after the drawing. The bill also mandates that clerks publicly announce each drawn name and order during the process. These changes apply to all general and primary elections for state and local offices where ballot position is determined by drawing.
