Matawan Borough Council {_getChooseLabel(this.selections.length)}

BOROUGH COUNCIL – Full Term – Vote for TwoMatawan is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a six-mmber Borough Council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis at the November general election. The Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. Council members are elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle. The Borough form of government used by Matawan is a weak mayor / strong council government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.
