New Jersey § 19:27a-15

§ 19:27a-15.

a. Whenever the elected official sought to be recalled is the Governor or a member

of the Legislature, the question of whether or not the Governor or member of the Legislature

shall be recalled shall appear on the ballot but no candidates to succeed the Governor

or member of the Legislature in the event the recall is successful shall be listed

thereon. A vacancy in the office of Governor resulting from a recall election shall be filled

pursuant to Article V, Section I of the State Constitution in the same manner as any other vacancy occurring in that office. A vacancy in the office of member of the Legislature resulting from a recall election

shall be filled pursuant to Article IV, Section IV, paragraph 1 of the State Constitution in the same manner as any other vacancy occurring in that office, except that no

member who is recalled shall be eligible to be selected to fill the vacancy created

as a result of the recall. b. Whenever the elected official sought to be recalled is other than the Governor

or a member of the Legislature, candidates to succeed the elected official in the

event the recall is successful may be nominated within nine days after the fifth business

day following service of the certification of the petition by each political party

in the manner prescribed in R.S.19:13-20 for selecting candidates to fill vacancies among candidates nominated at primary

elections. Candidates may also be nominated within that time period by petition in a manner

similar to that used for direct nomination by petition for a general election. In the case of offices in nonpartisan units of government, nomination shall be by

petition. An elected official who is the subject of a recall election shall be eligible to

be elected as that official's own successor in the event that the election results

in the official's recall. c. The ballot used at a recall election shall pose the following question to the voters:

“Shall (insert name of elected official sought to be recalled) be recalled from the

office of (insert title of office)?” To the right of the question, the words “Yes” and “No” shall appear and each voter

shall indicate the voter's choice of one. A recall election sample ballot, but not the actual ballot, shall contain the statement

of the reasons for the recall prepared by the recall committee and the answer thereto,

if any, which appeared on the petition. d. Whenever a successor is to be chosen at a recall election in the event the recall

is successful, the ballot shall indicate: “Nominees for successor to (insert name

and title of the elected official sought to be recalled) in the event he (or she)

is recalled.” The names of all persons nominated as successors shall appear immediately thereafter

in such manner as will allow each voter to vote for one.
