Requires circulator of recall petition to take oath by affidavit before officer duly qualified to administer oath.

This bill (A6217) requires individuals circulating recall petitions to take an oath by affidavit before an officer authorized to administer oaths in New Jersey. The circulator must verify under oath that they witnessed each signature, confirmed signers are legal residents, and collected signatures in good faith. This applies to all completed petition pages filed with election officials, adding a verification step similar to requirements for nomination petitions. The change aims to strengthen procedural safeguards against petition fraud by requiring in-person oath administration.
