Coordinators requested
from membership for the following counties: Cape May, Hudson,
Middlesex, Passaic, Salem, Sussex and Warren This order below is from the Consent Order requiring that the Annual Convention not only elect GPNJ Officers, delegates to GPUS Committees, delegates to represent GPNJ at the GPUS Convention for Presidential nomination, and ask for volunteers for GPNJ Standing Committees but that we elect members for county committees presented by the Locals. Remember, that the Dems and Reps do this at the Primary in June. Many people forget or do not even know what those names are for at the bottom of the ballot. Please read and think about this carefully since it requires some work on the part of GPNJ members who are registered Green Party voters. There is a requirement for Treasurers taking an in-person or online test (workshop). So this order requires some planning and we do not expect all counties to fill the positions in the first year. See this link for Code and Statutes referenced below. "ORDERED that the plaintiffs shall be treated as political party committees for the purpose of the contribution limits in the New Jersey Campaign Contributions and Expenditures Reporting Act, and for the purposes of N.J.A.C. 19:25-11.2, N. J. S.A. 19: 44A-9(h), and N.J.S.A. 19:44A-20.3 through 19:44A-20.27, provided that the plaintiffs: (a) may elect members to such committees at the plaintiffs’ conventions, rather than at a primary election; (b) shall, within ten (10) days of each such convention, notify the Division of Elections that members have bean elected to each such committee; and (c) shall, for each such committee, observe the requirements of N.J.S.A. 19:44A-10 to designate, on or before July 1 in each year, a single organizational treasurer and an organizational depository, and to file the name and address of that organizational depository and organizational treasurer with the Election Law Enforcement Commission not later than the tenth day after making such designation; and it is further..." 11:15 to 11:45 Election of GPUS Delegates worksheet for 2008
