Introduced Text

Allows appointment of challengers to any election district within congressional or legislative district where challenger resides.

This bill changes the rules for appointing challengers in New Jersey elections. Currently, a person must be a registered voter in the county where the election district is located to serve as a challenger. The bill would allow a person to be appointed as a challenger in any election district within a congressional or legislative district where the person resides, regardless of the county. The appointment must still be filed with the county board before the election. This change aims to make the appointment process more flexible for those residing in congressional or legislative districts.
