Thursday, Aug. 24 is the deadline for candidates in non-partisan municipal elections to file to run for mayor or council seats.
Byram and Vernon are among the towns that hold non-partisan elections.
Candidates must submit nominating petitions to the municipal clerk’s office by 4 p.m. Aug. 24.
That is an earlier deadline than in the past because of a new law signed by Gov. Phil Murphy on July 20. That law changed some of the deadlines related to general elections.
