Plainfield's chapter of the League of Women Voters has posted the local November slates on which voters will decide, with candidate bios and answers to the LWV's questions on its new website here.
Plainfield has probably got the most complicated ballot in New Jersey this November -- keeping County Clerk Joann Rajoppi and crew hard at work laying it all out so it fits on one intelligible paper ballot, as well as the voting machine screens.
In addition to the national races for President, Vice President and NJ Senator, there are County Freeholder races and New Jersey public questions and the local races.
Where it really gets complicated is the local portion of the ballot, which includes --
- Partisan CITY COUNCIL election with two candidates for the Citywide at-large seat, and three candidates for the Ward 3 seat;
- Nonpartisan BOARD
OF ED election for with five candidates for three 3-year seats, plus two
candidates for a one-year unexpired term;
- Local Public Question on establishing a CHARTER STUDY COMMISSION (an up or down vote), and a
- Nonpartisan election of COMMISSIONERS for the proposed Charter Study Commission, with seven candidates for five seats (the top five vote getters will comprise the Commission if the question passes)

Dan, What time is the LWV event at the Library on Saturday?
