On March 19, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signed an executive order permitting candidate petitions to be gathered and filed electronically.

No candidate in New Jersey ever needs more than 1,000 signatures. Statewide primary candidates need 1,000; general election statewide candidates need 800 signatures. District petitions never exceed 100 signatures.

The directions should soon be on the New Jersey Department of State’s website. Here is the Governor’s proclamation.
