This bill amends existing election laws in New Jersey to replace the traditional hand-drawing method for determining the order of candidates on primary and general election ballots with a computerized drawing system. The new process mandates that any computerized system used must receive prior approval from the Secretary of State and include safeguards to prevent outside influences on the results. The bill also stipulates that the computerized drawing will be accessible for public viewing both in person and electronically, ensuring transparency in the election process.

Additionally, the bill eliminates the previous provisions that allowed candidates in primary elections to be grouped together based on the drawing of another candidate for a different office, a practice known as bracketing. This change ensures that each office's ballot position is determined independently, while still allowing candidates running as a group for the same office to be drawn together. Overall, the legislation aims to modernize the election process and enhance the integrity and transparency of how candidates are positioned on ballots.
