New Jersey Governor Orders that Primary Petitions be Circulated On-Line Only

On March 19, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy issued an executive order concerning primary petitions. All such petitions are to be circulated electronically only, although signatures that had already been collected on paper are valid. The order also relaxes some of the paperwork for such petitions, including the requirement that the circulator of the petition must sign each petition.

However, the order does not apply to general election petitions. The general election petitions are due in early June, unless they are for president, and those are due in late July. Thanks to Brendan Phillips for the link.
