This bill amends R.S.19:14-2 to prohibit candidates who are constitutionally ineligible to hold office from being included on general election ballots. The new legal language specifies that a candidate's name shall not be printed on the ballot if they do not meet the qualifications for the office as outlined by the State Constitution or the Constitution of the United States. This includes situations where a candidate has not reached the required age or has exceeded the maximum number of terms allowed for that office.

The bill aims to ensure that only qualified candidates appear on the ballot, thereby upholding the integrity of the electoral process. It is set to take effect on January 1 following its enactment, reinforcing the importance of constitutional eligibility in the selection of candidates for public office.
