NEW JERSEY PRIMARY
- Tuesday Elections Primarily a Formality for Local Madison Candidates (By Stuart Chirls, Madison Borough NJ Patch) Incumbent council member Sam Cerciello will vie for a second term as an Independent in the November general elections, after ending his earlier announced bid for mayor, also as an Independent. Voters can only vote in the party's primary in which they are registered. A flood of write-in votes notwithstanding, the primary is uncontested based on the candidates on the ballots.
