PARSIPPANY โ€” This year we have a gubernatorial election as well as Mayoral, Council, and County Committee elections for Democratic and Republican parties in the Township of Parsippany- Troy Hills.ย  With the upcoming election around the corner, I want to share some information that may be helpful for individuals intending on running for office in the Township of Parsippany- Troy Hills.

All potential candidates will be required to file a petition which must be properly completed and signed by the applicant. To qualify, each petition will require a specific number of signatures in support of the candidate based on the position sought. Mayor or Council candidates require 50 signatures. The number of signatures required for County Committee candidatesโ€™ will vary depending on the District you will be running in. To find the number of required signatures, you can visit the County Clerkโ€™s Office website by clicking here, or you can contact the Municipal Clerkโ€™s office.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, petitions may be circulated electronically or in-person.ย  To obtain information on how to circulate and file a petition electronically by clicking here. Mayoral or Council Candidates running together may submit one petition with the required 50 signatures for all the candidates; it is not necessary for each candidate to submit a separate petition.ย  It is important to note that individuals cannot sign more than one petition in support of a candidate that is running for office and doing so will invalidate that signature.

Finally, pursuant toย N.J.S.A.ย 19:23-14, all petitions must be filed with the Municipal Clerk no later thanย 4:00 p.m. on April 5, 2021.
