A two minute clock
should not decide an election.
Forty-one Perth Amboy Republicans filed to run for council, county committee, and other local seats in the June 2, 2026 primary. Filing paperwork was ruled approximately two minutes late by the city clerk, even though the official system clock disagreed. Every candidate received a letter saying their names will not be on the printed ballot.
What we are doing about it
We are running a coordinated write-in campaign across every ward, every council district, and every county committee seat. New Jersey law allows voters to write in any eligible person under the proper office heading on a primary ballot. On the touchscreen voting machine, that means tapping Personal Choice and typing the candidate name. On a vote by mail or paper ballot, that means writing the name on the Personal Choice line and filling in the oval next to it.
The voters still have the power. Your vote still counts. On June 2, write us in.
What we ask of you
- Look up your ward and find your candidate exact spellings.
- Tell five neighbors. Word of mouth wins write-ins.
- Sign up to volunteer at the polling place or to drive voters on Election Day.
