Millburn voters voted in November to elect a commission to study the town charter and potentially recommend changes to the town's form of government. The commission's recommendation, which includes a 7-member township council elected in non-partisan elections, passed by a margin of over 30 percent. The Commission is now working with legal counsel to draft its official report, which will be filed with the state. If adopted, Millburn Township would transition from its current 5-member Township Committee to the proposed Council-Manager structure. The question of partisan versus non-partisan elections led to an extended debate, with commissioners stating that non-party elections lower the barrier between political parties and voters. However, they also noted that party involvement would not eliminate, as political parties would still endorse candidates and organize without appearing on the ballot.
