The Election Law Enforcement Commission shall, on or before the forty-fifth day prior

to the date on which the general election is to be held, supply each county clerk

with the text of statements from each candidate for election to the office of Governor. Each candidate for the office of Governor who wishes a statement to be posted on the county clerk's website on his behalf shall submit to the commission, on forms provided by it, his proposed

statement which shall not exceed 500 words in length. Each county clerk shall cause the statements submitted by all such candidates to

be posted on the county clerk's website in a conspicuous location and available as a

hardcopy upon request, with a short explanation prepared by the commission that such statements are provided

pursuant to this law to assist the voters of this State in making their determination

among the candidates for the office of Governor. The statements shall also be posted in a conspicuous location on the websites of the

Division of Elections and the Election Law Enforcement Commission. The sample ballot shall note that gubernatorial statements are available upon request

to the county clerk, on the county clerk's website and the websites of the Division

of Elections and the Election Law Enforcement Commission. The cost of posting such statements shall be paid for by the counties; except that any cost to the counties

resulting from the posting of such statements shall be reimbursed from State funds appropriated to the commission

for that purpose on claim therefor made by the county clerk to the commission.
