Our Initiatives
Elected BOE
Until 2021, Montclair was one of a handful of towns in New Jersey where mayors rather than voters picked members of the school board. We changed that.
Municipal Election Reform
We’re working to move our Township’s next municipal elections from May to November, to raise voter turnout, which is a fraction of that in most American towns.
Voter Engagement
In addition to these and other special initiatives Vote Montclair will be working year-round to increase voter engagement and election integrity.
