On June 24, the New Jersey Assembly passed AB 4237, which moves this year’s election for Governor and legislature from November 5 to October 16. The identical bill in the Senate, SB 2858, has passed a Senate Committee, so it seems likely that one or the other bill will pass the legislature. If so, it will be interesting to see if Governor Christie signs the bill or vetoes it.
We will have to wait and see, what are the implications of the date changing?
