This bill amends R.S.19:13-4 and R.S.19:23-7 to allow candidates for the Senate and General Assembly, who are from the same legislative district and belong to the same political party, to appear together on the same nominating petition. This change aims to streamline the nomination process for these candidates by enabling them to gather signatures collectively, while still maintaining the existing requirement for the number of signatures needed on their petitions.

The bill also specifies that the petitions must include the candidates' names, addresses, and a functioning campaign email address, as well as a statement from the signers affirming their qualifications and support for the candidates. This legislative change is intended to facilitate collaboration among candidates of the same party and simplify the signature-gathering process for those running in the same district. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
