The '''New Jersey General Assembly''' is the [[lower house]] of the [[New Jersey Legislature]].


Since the election of 1967 (1968 Session), the Assembly has consisted of 80 members. Two members are elected from each of New Jersey's 40 legislative districts for a term of two years, each representing districts with average populations of 232,225 (2020 figures), with deviation in each district not exceeding 3.21% above and below that average.<ref>[http://www.apportionmentcommission.org/documents/ValidationData/ValidationData_LegislativeDistricts.xls Statistical Data Tables] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220328223246/http://www.apportionmentcommission.org/documents/ValidationData/ValidationData_LegislativeDistricts.xls |date=2022-03-28 }}, [[New Jersey Apportionment Commission]]. Accessed August 25, 2021.</ref> To be eligible to run, a potential candidate must be at least 21 years of age, and must have lived in their district for at least one year prior to the election, and have lived in the state of [[New Jersey]] for two years. They also must be residents of their districts. Membership in the Assembly is considered a part-time job, and many members have employment in addition to their legislative work. Assembly members serve two-year terms, elected every odd-numbered year in November. Four current members of the Assembly hold other elective office, as they are [[Grandfather clause|grandfathered]] in under a New Jersey law that banned multiple office holding in 2007.

The Assembly is led by the [[Speaker (politics)|Speaker]] of the Assembly, who is elected by the membership of the chamber. After the [[Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey]] and the President of the [[New Jersey Senate]], the Speaker of the Assembly is third in the line of succession to replace the [[Governor of New Jersey]] in the event that the governor is unable to execute the duties of that office. The Speaker decides the schedule for the Assembly, which bills will be considered, appoints committee chairmen, and generally runs the Assembly's agenda. The current Speaker is [[Craig Coughlin]] ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]]-[[Woodbridge, New Jersey|Woodbridge]]).

The New Jersey General Assembly is the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature.

Since the election of 1967 (1968 session), the Assembly has consisted of 80 members. Two members are elected from each of New Jersey's 40 legislative districts for a term of two years, each representing districts with average populations of 232,225 (2020 figures), with deviation in each district not exceeding 3.21% above and below that average.[1] To be eligible to run, a potential candidate must be at least 21 years of age, and must have lived in their district for at least one year prior to the election, and have lived in the state of New Jersey for two years. They also must be residents of their districts. Membership in the Assembly is considered a part-time job, and many members have employment in addition to their legislative work. Assembly members serve two-year terms, elected every odd-numbered year in November. One current member of the Assembly, Gary Schaer, holds another elective office (Passaic City Council President),[2] as he is grandfathered in under a New Jersey law that banned multiple office holding in 2007.

The Assembly is led by the Speaker of the Assembly, who is elected by the membership of the chamber. After the Lieutenant Governor of New Jersey and the President of the New Jersey Senate, the Speaker of the Assembly is third in the line of succession to replace the Governor of New Jersey in the event that the governor is unable to execute the duties of that office. The Speaker decides the schedule for the Assembly, which bills will be considered, appoints committee chairmen, and generally runs the Assembly's agenda. The current Speaker is Craig Coughlin (D-Woodbridge).
