The Assembly Select Committee on Ballot Design is established through this resolution, consisting of 12 members from the General Assembly. Six members will be appointed by the Speaker and six by the Minority Leader. The committee is required to organize within 30 days of the resolution's effective date, with two co-chairpersons and two co-vice chairpersons appointed from its membership. The co-chairpersons have the authority to appoint a secretary, who does not need to be a committee member. Meetings will be called by the co-chairpersons, and a majority of the members will constitute a quorum for conducting business.
The primary responsibility of the committee is to review and analyze various resources, including studies, court decisions, and best practices related to the design of primary and general election ballots in New Jersey. The resolution will take effect immediately and will remain in force until the committee completes its work.
