WAYNE, NJ — Unofficial results show that current Township Council candidates in Wayne will keep their seats, while two newcomers join the Board of Education.

There were contested races for four Township Council seats, and for three seats on the school district Board of Education.

Wayne’s nine-member council has six members elected to specifically represent neighbors in a section of the township (or “ward”), and three members elected at-large to serve the whole town. Currently, there are eight Republican members and one Democrat. Mayor Chris P. Vergano, a Republican, is in his fourth term. There were contested races in four wards, and uncontested races in two.

For the township school district's Board of Education, there were five candidates looking to fill three available slots; only one of those candidates is on the board currently.
