Government [edit]
Local government [edit]
Pennington is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The government consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, with all positions elected at large. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office, but only participates in voting to break a tie. The Borough Council consists of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year.[3]
Like the other traditional forms of local government in New Jersey, a Borough may appoint an administrator and delegate all or a portion the executive responsibilities to the administrator. The Council may also adopt an administrative code which describes how the Council performs its duties.[26]
As of 2012[update], the mayor of Pennington is Anthony Persichilli (D, term of office ends December 31, 2015).

Mayor Persichilli, a Democrat, was first elected on November 7, 2006, to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of James Loper. Returned to office at that same election were Democratic council members Joseph Lawver and Eileen Heinzel.[28] James Loper, the previous elected Mayor, had resigned from office effective February 1, 2006. The Pennington Republican Committee nominated three candidates to take his place and the Council selected James Benton from the three candidates to fill the vacancy.[29] That same procedure was repeated on December 4, 2006, when the Borough Council to select Diane Zompa would fill the unexpired term left by Persichilli.[30]
