Expedites process for filling vacancy from this State in United States House of Representatives under certain circumstances.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A4491 (A4491) expedites the process for filling vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives seat representing the state. It requires the Governor to issue a writ of election within 10 days of a vacancy occurring, eliminates the need for primary elections in all vacancy scenarios, and specifies election timelines based on when the vacancy happens. For vacancies before July 1, a special election must occur 70-80 days after the writ is issued; for vacancies between July 1 and 70 days before the general election, the seat is filled at the next general election without a primary; and for vacancies after the 70th day before the general election with over a year remaining, a special election occurs 70-80 days after the writ. The bill directly affects New Jersey voters and candidates by streamlining the timeline and process for filling congressional vacancies.
