NOTICE - Pledge of Allegiance

Executive Order 105 signed by Governor Murphy on March 19, 2020 states that “candidates who have not already signed and notarized an Oath of Allegiance shall attach a signed Pledge of Allegiance to their petitions containing the same language as prescribed in N.J.S.A. 41:1-1”. If you are a candidate and you have not already signed and notarized an Oath of Allegiance, please complete a Pledge of Allegiance.

Additionally, Executive Order 105 states “The verification requirements of N.J.S.A. 19:23-11, insofar as they are not included on the online form created by the Secretary of State, shall be suspended for petitions due by 4:00 p.m. on March 30, 2020.” Please be advised that the Affidavit of Circulator page does not need to be notarized. A circulator would still need to Print and Sign their name and include their address.
