The result of the election shall be certified by the clerk of the political subdivision to the commission. Implemented by a rule in N.J.A.C. Title 4A.
Current through the close of the 221st Legislature (L. 2025, c. 346). What that means
Reviewed as of July 28, 2026. Official text: njleg.state.nj.us.
In plain language
Eighteen words closing the loop. The clerk of the political subdivision certifies the election result to the Commission. Until that certification arrives the Commission has no official knowledge of the vote, which is why the roster of civil service jurisdictions is a Commission record rather than something assembled from election returns.
Written by the NJ Civil Service Navigator editorial team from the text of this section. The statute itself is below, unabridged.
The result of the election shall be certified by the clerk of the political subdivision to the commission.
Enacted by L. 1986, c. 112, effective September 25, 1986. Last amended by L. 2008, c. 29, effective June 30, 2008.
An old amendment date alone does not mean a provision is obsolete. This mirror reflects the source watermark above; later laws and decisions can affect how the text applies.
