Happy Primary Day! Polls are open until 8:00 p.m. Not sure where to vote? Go to https://voter.svrs.nj.gov/polling-place-search to check.

One question we often get on Primary Day is "Who can vote?" New Jersey holds a “Closed Primary,” so you must be registered as a Democrat or Republican to vote today. If you are an Unaffiliated voter and you want to vote in the Primary Election, you'll have to declare a party at the polls.

Please reach out to the Borough Clerk, Deborah Zupan, at 732-632-8508 with any questions.

Across America today, communities gather to honor those who gave their lives in service to our great nation.

Here in Metuchen, this marks the Borough’s 99th consecutive observance, during which we honor the 41 residents of our community who never came home from war.

Every year on Memorial Day, it strikes me is how personal that loss must have felt in a community like ours.

For example, 30 of those 41 residents were lost during World War II alone. During the early 1940s, Metuchen was much like it is today: close knit, neighborly, and filled with families whose children all grew up together. These were classmates, friends, brothers, teammates, and neighbors.

Imagine the impact that kind of loss would have had here. And of course, Metuchen was just one of countless American towns carrying that same burden.

Memorial Day reminds us that freedom is not free. It was secured by ordinary Americans who made extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of a country they believed in.

Today, we honor these brave Metuchenites and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice defending the United States of America.
