New Jersey A3298 mandates county committee candidates to receive write-in votes equal to the number of signatures required to be placed on the ballot.

New Jersey A3298 amends election rules for county committee candidates. It requires candidates not on the primary ballot to receive a number of write-in votes at least equal to the number of signatures needed to be placed on the ballot. This applies to municipalities with populations over 14,000, where at least 50 signatures are required, and in other municipalities, where at least 25 signatures are needed. The bill ensures that candidates must meet these thresholds to be elected, aligning write-in votes with ballot petition requirements.
