Category:Townships in New Jersey
|
In New Jersey, a township is a form of government which consists of a three to five member township committee usually elected at-large in partisan elections. At its organization the committee selects one of its elected members to be mayor and preside at meetings. This form of local government is used by 27% of New Jersey municipalities. Note that in New Jersey, a municipality's name (such as X Township) is not necessarily an indication of its form of government.
