South Brunswick Primary Election: Who's On The Ballot, Where To Vote

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ — New Jersey's primary elections are set for June 7. And voters in Middlesex County, including South Brunswick, will be heading to the polling stations to cast their ballots.

New Jersey has a closed primary system, which means you must be a member of a particular party to vote in that party's primary. Voters who are registered but unaffiliated with any party can vote in the primary by declaring a party affiliation at the polls.

The deadline to register to be eligible to vote in the primary is May 17. Voters can cast a ballot in New Jersey's primaries: vote-by-mail, in-person early voting and in-person voting on Primary Election day.

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

Apply to let the County Clerk know you would like a mail-in ballot. Once you receive your ballot, fill it out and choose the candidates you want to vote for. Return your ballot by sending it through the U.S. Postal Service, placing it in one of the County’s ballot drop boxes, or bringing it to the Board of Elections office.

The County Clerk's office must receive applications sent by mail no later than seven days before the election date. Voters may apply in person or by authorized messenger at the Office of the County Clerk in New Brunswick up to 3 p.m. the day before the election. Learn more here.

Voters will be casting a ballot for their candidate for mayor in South Brunswick. Mayor Charlie Carley is facing a primary challenge from Arthur L. Robinson, who is running under the slogan "Efficiency, Transparency in Municipal Government." Councilman Kenneth Bierman does not have a primary challenger. The Middlesex County Republican Organization is fielding Michael J. Havardansky for mayor and John J. Anthony for council in an uncontested race.

For NJ's 12th District, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman has filed to run on a Democratic ticket and Darius Mayfield is seeking the Republican party ticket. Both races are uncontested.

Here is the early voting locations for the 2022 primary election:

• South Brunswick Community Center, 124 New Road, Monmouth Junction

A complete list of polling locations will be posted closer to the primary election date.

Voters will go back to the polls in November to vote for the election.
