Elections 2016: What Does the Primary Day Ballot Look Like in Mercer County?

The battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders isn’t the only Democratic Primary battle set for Tuesday.

U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-12) will be challenged by former Franklin Township Mayor Alex Kucsma in the Democratic Primary. Steven Uccio is running for the Republican nomination unopposed.

The 12th Congressional District covers parts of Mercer, Middlesex, Somerset and Union counties.

There are also four Democrats seeking the nominations for two open seats on the Board of Chosen Freeholders in November.

Freeholder Andrew Koontz and candidates Alex Rodriguez, Anthony Verelli and George Dusichka are all running for the Democratic Party’s nominations.

Republicans Andrew Curcio and Jason DeFrancesco are running unopposed.

Tuesday is also the final day for prospective candidates to file third party petitions.

New Jersey’ primary elections are closed, meaning voters must be a member of a party to vote in that party’s primary.

There is also same-day registration, which enables an independent voter to register as a member of a particular party so they can vote in that primary. Voters can then revert back to their previous affiliation at a later time.

Polls are open 6 a.m.-8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 7.
