Cherry Hill Elections 2021: Who's Running, How To Vote

CHERRY HILL, NJ — This fall, there will be elections for town council and school board in Cherry Hill.

Unlike last year, where New Jersey voters were forced to vote only by mail, voters have many more ways to vote this year: Machine vote early from Oct. 23 - 31, vote on Nov. 2 Election Day or vote by mail.

Cherry Hill Council

Council President David Fleisher and Councilwomen Sangeeta Doshi and Carole Roskoph are all running for re-election. William A. Carter III, who was appointed to council after Carolyn Jacobs resigned last summer, will run for that seat. All four are Democrats.

They will be challenged by Republicans Nicole Nance, David S. Lodge, Rossana Parsons and Diane C. Carr.

Cherry Hill Board of Education

Sally Tong is the only incumbent member of the board who is running for re-election, as there are three open seats on the Cherry Hill Public School District Board of Education.

Tong will be joined by John Papeika and Carolina Bevad on the "Responsible, Invested, Bold" ticket.

Nicholas J. Gaudio Jr. will run under the slogan, "Unmask Our Children," and Benjamin Rood will run under the slogan, "Transparency, Integrity, "Progress."

Jennifer Fleisher and Ilana Yares are also running, but don’t have any slogans.

Election Day is Nov. 2, but mail-in ballots have already been sent to homes. Voters can also use vote-by-mail drop boxes that have been set up across the district.

In Cherry Hill, drop boxes are set up in the following locations:

• Camden County College Rohrer Campus, rear parking lot, 1889 Marlton Pike East; and
• The Cherry Hill Municipal Building, 820 Mercer Street

Traditional polling locations are also set up in Camden County. You can find your polling location here.

• Camden City: Rowan University, 129 N. Broadway, Camden
• Collingswood: Collingswood Senior Center, 30 W. Collings Ave, Collingswood
