How Princeton Will Elect Borough Council Under Consolidation

As of Jan. 1, 2013, the consolidated Princeton will have six new members of Borough Council.

All candidates will be elected at-large.

Here’s how the mechanics of the council elections will work, according to Township Attorney Ed Schmierer and Borough Attorney Maeve Cannon.  

• The six council candidates  who receive the highest number of votes in November will become the new members of Borough Council.
• At the Counci’s first organizational meeting in January, the names of those six names will be put into a hat and then names will be drawn: two for the three year terms, two for the two year terms and two for the one year terms.
