Requires candidates for county committee to receive number of write-in votes at least equal to number of signatures required to be placed on ballot in order to be elected.

This bill requires that write-in candidates for county committee must receive a number of write-in votes at least equal to the number of signatures needed to place their name on the primary ballot. Currently, candidates must gather a minimum of 25 signatures (in smaller municipalities) or 50 signatures (in larger municipalities), or 5% of the previous primary vote for their party (but never fewer than one), to appear on the ballot. The bill extends this signature threshold to the vote count for write-in candidates, ensuring they meet the same standard as candidates who are listed on the ballot. This change applies to all New Jersey counties and affects how county committee members are elected without being on the official ballot.
