*School board elections in New Jersey are non-partisan, meaning candidates do not run on the ticket of a political party. However, each school board candidate may submit a brief slogan to appear with their name on the ballot. Candidates who are campaigning together sometimes run under the same ballot slogan — but not always.

Township Ballot Question

Gloucester Township residents will also cast their votes on a referendum. Last summer, the Township Council voted to sell its wastewater system to New Jersey American Water for $143 million. But the transaction can only go through if the majority of residents vote in favor of a ballot question.

This is how the referendum appears on each Gloucester Township ballot:

"Shall the Township of Gloucester, in the County of Camden, New Jersey, be authorized to sell its wastewater system to New Jersey-American Water Company, Inc. for the sum of one hundred forty-three million dollars ($143,000,000)?

EXPLANATION

If a majority of the legal voters in the Township vote “yes”, the Township of Gloucester will sign an agreement of sale with New Jersey-American Water Company, Inc. for the wastewater system servicing the residents and property owners in the Township in the amount of $143,000,000. This agreement provides that New Jersey-American Water Company, Inc. will provide and maintain all wastewater collection and conveyance services to the existing customers of the Township’s System and will make substantial capital improvements to such System in accordance with the terms of the Agreement of Sale approved by the Township. The service rates to the customers of the Township’s System will be subject to approval by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities from time to time."

Voters may select "yes" or "no." If the majority of votes come back "yes," the referendum passes.
