Full text of New Jersey New Jersey Statutes § 19:3-16, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 19:3-16.
If such determination shall not have been made until after such candidate shall have
been inducted into office, then upon a certified copy of the record of the determination
being sent to the Attorney-General, it shall be his duty to institute appropriate
proceedings for the vacation of such office where no other proceeding to the same
purpose has been commenced. If the record relates to the election of any candidate to the office of United States
Senator, member of Congress, State Senator, or member of the General Assembly, the
Attorney-General, instead of instituting appropriate proceedings for the vacation
of the office, shall send the certified copy, within five days after the same is received
by him, to the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, the State Senate
or the General Assembly, as the case may be, if such United States Senate, House of
Representatives, State Senate or General Assembly is then in session, and if not,
then on the first day of such session.
