Abolish The Line
The design of primary election ballots can have substantial consequences, as these elections determine which candidates advance to the general election. New Jersey’s primary ballot design is different from those in all fifty states, including the District of Columbia. In all other states and D.C., candidates are organized on primary ballots based on the office seat they are seeking. Each candidate is listed directly beneath or next to each position title. These ballot designs make it easy for voters to identify which candidates are running for which electoral office.
