New Jersey A2641 changes the timeline for filling vacancies in county offices if they occur 70 days before a general election.

New Jersey A2641 amends the state law to adjust the timeline for filling vacancies in county offices. If a vacancy in the offices of county surrogate, county clerk, county register of deeds and mortgages, or county sheriff occurs within 70 days before a general election, the vacancy will be filled at the second succeeding general election. This change aims to ensure uniformity in the election administration process and compliance with federal and state laws regarding vote-by-mail ballots.
