S 3282 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

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

This New Jersey bill streamlines the process for filling vacancies in the state's U.S. House of Representatives seat. It requires the Governor to issue a writ within 10 days of a vacancy and eliminates primary elections for all vacancies. The bill establishes three specific scenarios for election timing: using the next general election if the vacancy occurs between July 1 and 70 days before the general election, or holding a special election 70-80 days after the writ issuance if the vacancy happens before July 1 or after 70 days before the general election with an unexpired term exceeding one year.
