New Jersey S1679 prohibits candidates ineligible to hold office from appearing on general election ballots.

New Jersey S1679 amends the state's election laws to ensure that candidates who do not meet the constitutional qualifications for the office they seek are not listed on general election ballots. This includes candidates who have not met the age requirement or have exceeded the term limits set by the state or federal constitution. The bill aims to prevent confusion and ensure that only eligible candidates are presented to voters.
