The Burlington County Commissioners believe long lines and waits during the Nov. 5 election were unacceptable and that voters deserve clear answers on why they occurred and how to prevent them in future elections.
The commissioners support the call from the chairs of both major political parties for the Board of Elections and Superintendent of Elections offices to conduct a comprehensive review of elections procedures, equipment and processes that will result in improvements. A written report with findings and recommendations is expected to be made public by Jan. 30.
Local voters who want to provide input can do so by submitting written accounts of their experiences and concerns to 2024Election@co.burlington.nj.us. The information will be used to develop findings and make recommendations.
The commissioners are also calling on the Board of Elections and the Superintendent of Elections to work around the clock to restore public confidence and certify the election results.
