Special Election

Tuesday, June 16, 2026

Polls open 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM

Millburn voters will decide whether to adopt the Council-Manager form of government, as recommended by the elected Charter Study Commission.

The Commission has issued its recommendation

In November 2025, Millburn voters approved the creation of a Charter Study Commission by a 65.3% margin. Over five months, the five elected commissioners conducted 18 public meetings and more than 40 structured interviews — totaling over 70 hours — with current and former Township Committee members, all municipal department heads, and elected officials from comparable New Jersey municipalities.

On April 15, 2026, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend that Millburn adopt the Council-Manager form of government under the Optional Municipal Charter Law (the Faulkner Act). That recommendation now goes to the voters on June 16, 2026.
