Bill Summary

This bill allows candidates for Senate and General Assembly to appear together in the same nominating petition, provided they seek nomination from the same legislative district and are of the same political party. Under current law, several candidates for nomination to the same office may appear together in the petitions of nomination that are circulated to appear on the primary election ballot. This bill expands this authorization to enable such Senate and General Assembly candidates to appear together in the same primary nomination petition. This bill also allows such Senate and General Assembly candidates to appear together on petitions for direct nomination for the general election. Under current law, Senate and General Assembly candidates from the same legislative district require the same number of signatures on their nominating petitions. This bill does not change the required number of signatures, but would simplify the process of gathering these signatures for candidates running in the same legislative district who are from the same political party, should the candidates choose to be named on the same petition.
