Election Day 2019: Everything East Hanover Needs To Know

EAST HANOVER, NJ — After a long campaign season, Election Day 2019 is finally here in East Hanover and Florham Park.

Here is everything you need to know about Election Day in East Hanover and Florham Park.

What will be on my ballot?

You can see a sample ballot for East Hanover here and Florham Park here.

Florham Park residents will vote "yes" or "no" to a $24.8 million school referendum. It will be presented in two questions.

The first question would allocate $19.8 million in improvements to Briarwood and Brooklake Elementary School, and Ridgedale Middle School. The improvements include:

• Replacing the roof at Briarwood for $1.2 million
• Installing an HVAC system in Brooklake classrooms for $2.9 million
• Installing an HVAC system for $3.6 million and renovating the wellness center and the auditorium at Ridgedale for $2.1 million

The second question would allocate $5 million for various upgrades at Briarwood, Brookdale, and Ridgedale schools, including renovating bathrooms in three schools.

The State of New Jersey will cover approximately 40 percent of the projects' costs, but only if the referendum passes.

If both questions pass, the school portion of local tax bills would increase $13 annually for the owners of the average assessed home of $658,000.
