I'm referring of course to the office of Secretary of State in most states, which is responsible for handling voter registration processing, organizing the elections in that state, and certifying the vote counts.

Should this officeholder explicitly be a member of any political party?

The Secretary of State or Commissioner of Elections or whoever does that should be a non-partisan office appointed by the governor and/or the legislature, preferably for terms greater than 6 years to avoid partisan revolving doors.

And if, such as in your own state for example, the governor's office and the legislature is controlled by the same unscrupulous party...?
