Hoboken 2024 Election Day: Rent Control, School Board On Ballot

HOBOKEN, NJ — Besides the presidential election on Nov. 5, Hoboken voters can choose three school board candidates and answer a question about whether they want to make certain changes to Hoboken's longstanding Rent Control Ordinance.

• Four candidates are running for three school board slots in Hoboken. The Board of Education has nine members in total. Voters can choose any three. See more about them below.
• For the rent control public question, the landlord/property owner group proposing the laws wants voters to vote "Yes." Tenant advocates and the mayor are urging a "No" vote. Read more about that here.

Here are polling locations.
