RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE EXTENSION OF
ELECTION POLLING HOURS TO 6:00 A.M.
WHEREAS, there is legislation presently awaiting the Governor's signature that would
require election polling precincts to open at 6:00 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. as is now
required; and
WHEREAS, it is already difficult to secure election board workers under the current
working conditions which require polling places to remain open between 7:00 a.m. and
8:00 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, the aforementioned legislation would only exacerbate this already difficult
situation from an administrative perspective placing an ever increasing burden on New
Jersey's Municipalities.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Mayor and Council of the Borough
of Carteret, County of Middlesex, and State of New Jersey, that Acting Governor Donald
T. DiFrancesco is hereby urged to veto S-1443 which would extend polling hours to 6:00
a.m.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution shall be forwarded to
Acting Governor Donald T. DiFrancesco.
Adopted this 19th day of July, 2001
and certified as a true copy of the
original on July 20, 2001.
