Allows candidates to file form attesting to their understanding of and adherence to ELEC rules and regulations with their nominating petitions.

This New Jersey bill (A 114) requires candidates for state office to attach a sworn statement with their nomination petitions, confirming they understand and will follow election rules. It directly affects candidates filing petitions for state legislative or gubernatorial races, including those for the House of Representatives. The key mechanism adds a new requirement: candidates must submit a signed statement attesting to their compliance with election laws, alongside existing documents like residency certifications. This change streamlines the process by allowing the statement to be filed with petitions instead of requiring separate submission to the Election Law Enforcement Commission. The bill does not alter criminal background disclosure requirements but integrates the attestation into standard petition filing.
