Ballot Counting Dates - Primary Election

The Middlesex County Board of Elections is an autonomous body of County Government, headed up by four Commissioners appointed by the Governor, two democrats and two republicans, upon recommendation from the respective County, and State Chairmen, one each to alternating two-year terms of office. At their annual reorganization meeting, they elect a President, and a Secretary & Commissioner of Registration, to hold said office for the ensuing year. They serve at the pleasure of the Governor. They are charged with poll worker responsibility, training, and assignment to the polls in all twenty-five towns, which comprise the County of Middlesex. They can exercise full power and authority to direct the Local, County, and/or State Police on duty, to maintain, or restore order, during an election. The election results are certified by the Commissioners, after each election.
