Primary Election Tuesday: Who's On Livingston Ballot, Where To Vote

LIVINGSTON, NJ — New Jersey's Primary Election Day is this Tuesday, June 7. In primary races, residents who are members of a political party can choose nominees from their party who will then face the opposition in November.

Some candidates are running unopposed in the June primaries, but supporters may still want to show support for them at the polls.

In Livingston, three of five seats on the Livingston Township Council are up for election this year. Candidates were required to file for the primaries for those seats in April. Three Democrats and three Republicans filed to run in the June 7 primaries. Since there are three seats, all of those who filed will get the party nomination to face off in November. However, voters may still go to the ballot this Tuesday to show support.

Voters in Livingston can also cast a ballot in New Jersey's 11th Congressional District race this year.

That seat is currently held by Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat who first won in 2018. She will not face a primary challenge in June. However, there are five Republicans vying to challenge her in November.

The Republican candidates are Tayfun Selen, Paul DeGroot, Ruth McAndrew, Alexander R. Halter and Toby Anderson. Republican voters can choose one candidate on June 7 who will face Sherrill in November.

Polls in New Jersey will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Online and paper registration forms and ballots can be found on the New Jersey Department of State's website or by clicking here.
