Panel: What's Next For Primary Elections in NJ? Building Consensus and Candidates

Join a veteran political journalist and two noted reform advocates for a moderated discussion on the future of New Jersey elections at the Princeton Public Library. With the fall of the county line ballot system, kingmakers in New Jersey primaries are now voters instead of party bosses. But with a first-past-the-post voting system, candidates this year have won with less than one-third of the vote. Can New Jersey find a way to give winning candidates a broader mandate? Our expert panel will examine practical paths forward. From minority access to ranked choice voting, they will cover it all!
