Bill overview
This bill would change the rules for electing county committee members in New Jersey. Currently, candidates who aren't listed on the ballot can be elected if they receive enough write-in votes. This bill requires those write-in votes to equal the number of signatures needed to get a candidate’s name on the ballot in the first place. This aims to ensure that candidates without official ballot access have a more significant hurdle to overcome to be elected.
