Prohibits New Jersey Legislature from solely altering conduct or outcome of any election; reaffirms separation of powers concerning elections.
S 4220 prohibits the New Jersey Legislature from unilaterally changing how elections are conducted or altering their outcomes. It requires all elections to follow the separation of powers outlined in the New Jersey Constitution, ensuring the legislative, executive, and judicial branches each perform their constitutionally assigned roles in elections. For example, the legislature cannot override election administration (handled by the Division of Elections) or judicial review of election disputes without adhering to these constitutional boundaries. This bill directly affects all state and local elections in New Jersey by preventing the legislature from having sole authority over election rules.
