LINWOOD
Council at-large - 1 year unexpired term (Vote for 1)
A new state law allows Boards of Election to start counting vote-by-mail ballots 10 days before Election Day, increasing the chance of getting earlier results but also creating a challenge to election security.
Sierra Club of New Jersey has retracted its endorsement of U.S. Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, in favor of Democratic challenger Amy Kennedy, of Brigantine.
Congressman Jeff Van Drew, R-2nd, and Democratic challenger Amy Kennedy, of Brigantine, will face each other Thursday night in their first and only debate before Election Day on Nov. 3.
Expenses continue to mount as Atlantic County election officials hire additional staff, rent office space, and buy new equipment and drop boxes, all in an effort to ensure success for New Jersey’s first mostly vote-by-mail general election.
