NONPARTISAN ELECTIONS

A Public Meeting Hosted by Holmdel First

Did you know that some towns hold local elections on a nonpartisan basis? This allows voters to decide based on the character and reputation of the candidates and what they can do for the town rather than along party lines.

Come and hear more about the benefits and the procedure for nonpartisan elections for local government!

When: March 18, 2020, 7 PM

Where: Holmdel Library, Bell Works

101 Crawfords Corner Rd, Holmdel
