S 3077 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits New Jersey Legislature from solely altering conduct or outcome of any election; reaffirms separation of powers concerning elections.

This bill prohibits the New Jersey Legislature from unilaterally changing election rules or outcomes. It requires all election administration to follow the separation of powers outlined in the New Jersey Constitution, ensuring the legislative, executive, and judicial branches each perform their constitutionally defined roles. For example, the Legislature cannot alter elections alone without involving the Governor (who signs election laws), election officials (who administer voting), or courts (which resolve disputes). The bill directly affects how New Jersey conducts all elections, reinforcing that no single branch may exercise powers belonging to another branch.
