This bill revises the design and procedures for primary election ballots in New Jersey, mandating that all ballots be arranged in an office block format where candidates for the same office are grouped together. It establishes uniform design standards, including the prohibition of distinguishing marks that could confuse voters, and allows candidates to include a slogan or endorsement of up to six words next to their names. The bill also removes the election of State political party committee members from the primary election process, transferring this responsibility to county committee members, and repeals outdated provisions related to these elections.

Additionally, the bill outlines new requirements for the drawing of candidates' names, ensuring transparency by requiring the order of names to be announced. It specifies that if only one candidate is running for an office, that candidate will automatically be placed first on the ballot. The Division of Elections is tasked with collecting data on the implementation of these changes and preparing a report on their impact, including recommendations for future elections. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the clarity, accessibility, and efficiency of the primary election process in New Jersey.
