Fair Haven, New Jersey Public Records

The state offers online registration for eligible citizens who possess a New Jersey driver's license or state ID. Registration must be completed 21 days before an election, though New Jersey does allow same-day registration during the early voting period. To qualify, applicants must be U.S. Citizens, at least 17 years old (they cannot vote until turning 18), and residents of both New Jersey and their county for at least 30 days before the election. Municipal elections in the borough focus on council seats and the mayor's office. The six-member council serves three-year staggered terms, with two seats contested each year. The mayor is elected separately to a four-year term. These non-partisan elections take place in May as part of New Jersey's local election cycle. The next mayoral race is scheduled for 2027, while council seats are up for election annually. Information about local candidates, sample ballots, and ballot questions can be found on both the Monmouth County Clerk's website and the borough's own site. Voters can locate their assigned polling place using the polling place lookup tool on the New Jersey Division of Elections website (https://voter.svrs.nj.gov/polling-place-search) by entering their address. New Jersey law makes numerous election records available to the public, including voter registration lists (available for purchase for political purposes), campaign finance reports (filed with ELEC, the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission, at www.elec.nj.gov), candidate petitions and filings, and precinct-by-precinct election results. The county clerk publishes election results on their website following each election. New Jersey will not have a U.S. Senate race in 2026 (the next Senate election is in 2027), but voters will elect all 120 members of the New Jersey Legislature (40 State Senate seats and 80 General Assembly seats) as 2025 is a legislative election year in New Jersey with terms beginning in 2026. The community is part of New Jersey's 13th Legislative District. County-level offices including Board of County Commissioners seats and county clerk positions will also appear on the ballot. New Jersey offers vote-by-mail options; any registered voter can request a mail-in ballot without providing a reason. Voters can apply for mail-in ballots online through Monmouth County Clerk's website or by submitting a written application. Mail-in ballot applications must be received by Monmouth County Clerk at least seven days before the election, though voters can request ballots in person at the clerk's office until 3 p.m. The day before the election. The state also implemented early in-person voting, allowing voters to cast ballots at designated locations during a nine-day early voting period.
