Authority
Thestate Constitution addresses the office of the governor inArticle V, the Executive.
Under Article V, Section I:
The executive power shall be vested in a Governor.[1] |
Qualifications
Candidates for governor must be:
- at least 30 years old
- a U.S. citizen for at least 20 years
- a resident of New Jersey for at least seven years
No governor shall hold office in any other state or under the federal government, nor shall a sitting governor be elected to any legislative seat. Governors who accept any state or federal position or profit are considered to have vacated their seat.[1]
Vacancies
Details of vacancies are addressed underArticle V, Section I, paragraph 6.
If the governor's office becomes vacant through resignation, removal, or death, then thelieutenant governor succeeds to the office.
If a governor-elect dies, the lieutenant governor-elect takes office as the governor.
After the lieutenant governor, the President of theNew Jersey State Senate, followed by the Speaker of theNew Jersey General Assembly, complete the constitutionally prescribed line of succession.
The same line order applies if a governor is absent or temporarily unable to discharge the office, as well as when the governor-elect fails to qualify. In such cases, the acting governor serves until the absence, disqualification, or illness ends. The acting governor shall have all the "functions, powers, duties, and emoluments" of the governor's office.
If the governor has been absent or disqualified for six months, theSupreme Court of New Jersey, upon receipt of a concurrent resolution from the General Assembly, shall declare the office to be vacant.
The office shall be filled by an acting governor if less than one year remains in the current term; otherwise, a special election is called.
Duties
The governor of New Jersey is considered one of the most powerful governorships in the nation as it is the only state-wide (non-federal) elected office in the state. Thus, unlike many other states that have elections for some cabinet-level positions, under theNew Jersey State Constitution the governor appoints the entire cabinet, subject to confirmation by theNew Jersey Senate.
The governor is charged with faithfully upholding and executing the laws of New Jersey, a power that includes enforcing all constitutional and statutory mandates as well as restraining actions. New Jersey's governor is also the commander-in-chief of the militia.
He or she nominates all general and flag officers and the state militia and has ultimate authority for seeing that the state's militia is properly trained.[1]
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Granting all commissions given to elected and appointed officers
- Nominating officers to all appointed positions not otherwise provided for and making appointments, with the consent of the Senate
- Convening the entire legislature or the Senate for extraordinary sessions
- Vetoing bills subject to a super-majority override in the legislature
- Granting pardons and reprieves, excluding cases of treason and impeachment[1]

- State agency requests are submitted inOctober.
- Thegovernor submits his or her proposed budget to theNew Jersey State Legislatureon or before the fourth Tuesday in February.[3]
- The legislature adopts a budget on or beforeJune 30. A simple majority is required to pass a budget.

The budget for the Chief Executive Office of the Governor in Fiscal Year 2025 was $14,745,000.[5]
Elections
New Jersey belongs to the handful of states that hold off-year elections, that is, elections in off-numbered years that are neither presidential nor midterm years. In New Jersey's case, elections are held in the year after a presidential and before a midterm; thus, 2021, 2025, 2029, and 2033 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the inauguration is always held the third Tuesday in the January after an election.[6]
New Jersey was, prior to the creation of the lieutenant governor's office, one of only three states, the others beingHawaii andTennessee, where the governor is the only statewide elected office.
Term limits
New Jersey governors are restricted to two consecutive terms in office, after which they must wait four years before being eligible to run again.
New Jersey Constitution, Article V, Section 1, Paragraph 5
| No person who has been elected Governor for two successive terms, including an unexpired term, shall again be eligible for that office until the third Tuesday in January of the fourth year following the expiration of the second successive term.[1] |
