Introduced Text

New Jersey S463 mandates that circulators of recall petitions must take an oath by affidavit before an officer qualified to administer oaths.

New Jersey S463 amends the law concerning the validity requirements for recall petitions by requiring each circulator to take an oath by affidavit before an officer qualified to administer oaths. This requirement aims to prevent petition fraud and ensures that circulators affirm the truthfulness of their statements under oath. The bill specifies that circulators must be at least 18 years old, residents of New Jersey, U.S. citizens, and not disqualified under the state constitution. The act takes effect immediately upon enactment.
