The New Jersey Senate considered S3994 on Tuesday, January 14, but it did not pass it that day. Instead it amended the bill so that it can take effect for the 2025 election. New Jersey has elections for Governor and legislature in 2025 and the original bill, combined with its slow progress, would not have taken effect for the 2025 election.

The bill will probably get a Senate vote in the next few weeks. It raises the number of signatures for both primary candidates and general election candidates. See this story.
