On May 5, the New Jersey Assembly State Government Committee unanimously passed A3777. It moves the presidential primary from February to June. The bill saves money, because the primary for office other than President is in June anyway.

All New Jersey presidential primaries 1968 through 2004 were in June. For 2008, New Jersey held a February presidential primary. A3777 has no effect on petition deadlines for independent or minor party candidate petitions. Thanks to Frontloading HQ for this news.
