This bill aims to reinforce the principle of separation of powers in New Jersey by prohibiting the State Legislature from having the sole authority to alter the conduct or outcome of any election. It emphasizes that elections must be conducted in accordance with the roles assigned to the legislative, executive, and judicial branches as outlined in the New Jersey Constitution. The bill asserts that no single branch of government can exercise powers that are properly designated to another branch, except where explicitly permitted by the Constitution.
By enacting this legislation, the bill seeks to ensure that the processes surrounding elections involve collaboration and adherence to the established roles of each government branch. This includes the Legislature's ability to pass election-related laws, the executive's role in administering elections, and the judiciary's function in resolving election disputes. Overall, the bill aims to maintain a balanced and fair electoral process in New Jersey.
