Prohibits candidates who are constitutionally ineligible to hold office from being placed on general election ballots.
This New Jersey bill (S 4918) prohibits placing candidates on general election ballots if they are constitutionally ineligible for the office they seek. It directly affects candidates who fail to meet age requirements, term limits, or other qualifications specified in the New Jersey or U.S. Constitution. The bill amends election law to require ballot printers to remove such candidates' names before voting. This ensures only constitutionally qualified candidates appear on ballots, without changing eligibility standards themselves.
