It's Election Day, again: Do-over council election in Oakland; school elections in Montclair, 12 other towns
It’s Election Day in Oakland, Montclair, and twelve other New Jersey municipalities.
In Oakland, voters will return to the polls again to fill one seat on the borough council after the November general election ended in a tie. Republican incumbent Kevin Slasinski will face independent Matthew Dumpert.
Roughly 675 vote-by-mail ballots have been returned in Oakland, while another 700 ballots mailed by election officials remain outstanding.
Superior Court Judge Kelly Conlon ordered the March 10 election after an exhaustive series of legal challenges that ended in a trial in January.
