Primary Election Day In Morristown: When, Where To Vote

MORRISTOWN, NJ — The primary election is only a few days away, and Morristown residents will be able to cast their votes in town and county races.

This year's election cycle will see a change in the Morristown Council, as Councilman Stefan Armington will not seek re-election to a fourth term in the Third Ward.

Six Morristown residents will run in the June 2023 primary election for Morristown Town Council Ward seats.

The Candidates running in Morristown are the following:

• Ward 2: Tina Lindsey (D)
• Ward 3: Robert Bell (D), Steven Pylypchuk (D)
• Ward 4: Bruce Meringolo (R) Sandra Mayer (D) and Christopher Russo (D)

This means that Morristown will have a Democratic Primary in Wards 3 and 4.

Meringolo expressed concern about the current lack of transparency in Morristown government business when announcing his candidacy. He cited a lack of information about the township's proposal to spend millions to buy the old post office on the Green and relocate town hall.
