All four wards in Morristown are in play this Election Day, as voters take to the polls from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8.
In Ward 1, incumbent Rebecca Feldman, an Independent, is being challenged by Republican Jenny Peters, who was a write-in and did not compete in the June primaries.
In Ward 2, Democratic incumbent Raline Smith-Reid is being challenged by Republican Naveen Nadipuram, a political newcomer.
In Ward 3, Democrat Stefan Armington–who defeated Democratic incumbent James E. Smith in the June primaries–is being challenged by Republican Ed Ramirez. Like Peters in Ward 1, Ramirez was a write-in and did not compete in the June primary elections.
In Ward 4, Alison Deeb, the lone Republican on the Council, is being challenged for her seat by Democrat Denis Ciklic, a political newcomer.
There also are county-wide elections happening on Tuesday.
State Senator Anthony M. Bucco, a Republican, is being challenged for his seat by Democrat Rick Thoeni of Denville.
The senator's son, also Republican and also named Anthony Bucco, will seek to return to his state Assembly seat, as will fellow incumbent Republican Michael Patrick Carroll. On the Democratic side, George Stafford and Gale Heiss Colucci are seeking upsets.
The district, though recently reconfigured, is traditionally considered strong Republican territory.
At the county level, Republican Freeholder Margaret Nordstrom is running against Democrat Truscha Quatrone.
All New Jersey residents will be asked in a nonbinding referendum if the state should allow betting on professional sports at Atlantic City casinos, and at the state's racetracks. "Non-binding" means voters are just giving their two cents—the measure doesn't have the force of law, though it could spur legislators to act. A change to a federal law would have to take place before such betting would be legal, too.
