Millburn Primary Results: Prupis And Owolabi To Vie For 1 Seat

MILLBURN, NJ — Polls closed in Millburn at 8 p.m. for the New Jersey Primary Election races to determine which candidate would get the Democratic and Republican nominations to vie for a single seat on the Millburn Township Committee in November.

Because each of the two candidates ran unopposed for their party's nomination, the nominees were a foregone conclusion. However, political observers sometimes look to the vote tabulations to determine how much support each side has early in the race.

Below are the unofficial results from the Essex County clerk's office, and the clerk's website said only 15 of 16 districts had reported. Patch will update the results once they are certified.

The nominees who will face off for a Township Committee seat on Nov. 2 are:

• Mayor Tara Prupis (Democrat): 705
• Oyin Owolabi (Republican): 298

In Millburn, candidates run for staggered terms on the Township Committee, then choose a mayor from among themselves each year.
