Voorhees Township residents will not only vote for a new governor next week but also two committee members, three local board of education members and two regional board of education members.

Four candidates are running for two three-year term seats on committee. Republicans Carmine Valentino and Lisa DeAugustine are challenging incumbent Democrats Michael Mignogna and Harry A. Platt.

Two positions are open for the regional board of education. The two incumbents running are Robert A. Paul and Elena M. Chow. Three positions are also up for the local board of education. The three incumbents running are Richard Nelson, Bruce Karpf and Marissa Levy.

Along with local elections, residents will cast their votes for governor, one state Senate member, two General Assembly positions and two Camden County freeholders.

There are also two statewide referendums on the ballot this year. The first is, “Do you approve the ‘New Jersey Library Construction Bond Act?’ This bond act authorizes the state to issue bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $125 million. The proceeds of the bonds will be used to provide grants to public libraries. The grants will be used to build, equip, and expand public libraries to increase capacity and serve the public.”

The second is, “Do you approve amending the Constitution to dedicate all moneys collected by the state relating to natural resource damages in cases of contamination of the environment? The moneys would have to be used to repair, restore, replace, or preserve the state’s natural resources. The moneys may also be used to pay legal or other costs incurred by the state in pursuing its claims.”
