On March 9 Governor Murphy signed into law S-3595/A-5177, which changes certain primary election deadlines. The new law took effect immediately.

  • Notice of Public Offices to be filed at the election submitted by the Municipal Clerk to the County Clerk changes from 57 days prior to the primary election to 71 days prior to the primary election.
  • The Drawing of Ballot positions changes from 54 days prior to the primary election to 61 days prior to the primary election. The drawing still must be held at 3:00 p.m.
