This bill amends R.S.19:14-2 to ensure that candidates who are constitutionally ineligible to hold office are not 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 set forth by either the State Constitution or the Constitution of the United States. This includes situations where a candidate has not reached the required age for the office or has exceeded the maximum number of terms allowed.

The bill aims to enhance the integrity of the electoral process by preventing ineligible candidates from appearing on ballots, thereby ensuring that voters are only presented with qualified individuals for election. The act is set to take effect on January 1 following its enactment.
