Transfers Division of Elections from Department of State to Department of Law and Public Safety; designates Attorney General as chief election official and requires two bipartisan co-directors.

This bill transfers New Jersey's election administration from the Department of State to the Department of Law and Public Safety. It designates the Attorney General as the chief election official (replacing the Secretary of State) and requires the Division of Elections to be led by two bipartisan co-directors appointed by the Governor. One co-director must be from the Governor's political party (recommended by party leaders), and the other from the second-largest party in the last gubernatorial election (also recommended by party leaders). The co-directors serve four-year terms, aligning with the Governor's term, and the change takes effect January 1 following enactment.
