The City of Orange Board of Education will hold a special election:
The Board of Education currently has seven seats filled, however per New Jersey State Statute, an elected board must consist of nine members.
In the 2017 November elections, the residents of the City of Orange voted that the two available positions for the Board of Education would be chosen by the community rather than being appointed by the Mayor.
Candidates for the Board of Education election were nominated by petition that required at least 10 signatures in support of the nominee. The final candidates for the term of two years and eight months are Stephen Folsom, Antoinette Hall and Tyrone Tarver, while Al-Nesha Jones-Holiday and Siaka Sherif will be running for the eight month term.
Voting will take place at the designated polling center for the zone in which you reside.
