Summary — A5152 / P.L.2024, c.107

Title (from text): An Act concerning the date of the June 2025 primary election and adjustment of certain election related deadlines

Status: Enacted (Approved December 31, 2024 as P.L.2024, c.107)
Introduced: December 16, 2024 — Passed both houses December 19, 2024 (Assembly 72-0-0; Senate 38-0)

Main purpose

To reschedule New Jersey’s June 3, 2025 primary election to Tuesday, June 10, 2025, to accommodate a period of religious observance, and to align most election-related statutory deadlines with the new primary date while maintaining specific exceptions.

Key provisions

  • Reschedules the 2025 primary election from June 3, 2025 to June 10, 2025 (one week later).
  • Notification requirement: The Secretary of State must notify county clerks, county boards of election, superintendents of elections, municipal clerks, and the public of the new date no later than seven days after the act’s effective date.
  • Deadline alignment:
    • Most deadlines required to be met before the primary under Title 19 of the Revised Statutes will correspond to the rescheduled primary date of June 10, 2025.
    • Exceptions — these deadlines remain tied to the original June 3, 2025 date:
    • Deadlines related to nominating petitions and the drawing for ballot position (chapter 23, Title 19).
    • Deadlines for mailing vote-by-mail ballots under “The Vote By Mail Law,” P.L.2009, c.79 (C.19:63-1 et seq.).
    • All deadlines that occur after the primary under Title 19 are aligned to the rescheduled June 10, 2025 date.
  • The Secretary of State is required to publish a calendar listing the dates to be used for the 2025 primary election consistent with this act.
  • Effective immediately upon enactment.

Who is affected

  • Voters in New Jersey (general public) — new election day and some ballot-mailing timelines.
  • Candidates and prospective candidates — deadlines for filings, nominations, and ballot-position drawings (note the specific exceptions).
  • County clerks, county boards of election, municipal clerks, and election officials — operational schedules, printing, staffing, and voter notice obligations.
  • Vote-by-mail administrators — certain mailing deadlines remain tied to June 3.

Procedural/timing notes

  • Act took effect immediately (P.L.2024, c.107; approved Dec. 31, 2024).
  • Secretary of State must issue stakeholder/public notice within seven days of the effective date and publish an official calendar of deadlines for the 2025 primary.
  • Fiscal impact: Not specified in the bill (fiscal information unavailable in committee statement).

Rationale stated in bill

The change was made to accommodate a period of religious observance while preserving necessary statutory timelines for nominations, ballot position draws, and vote-by-mail processes.
