List of mayors of Moorestown, New Jersey
Moorestown Township, New Jersey was incorporated on March 11, 1922. The municipal government operates within the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) under Council-Manager plan E, which was implemented as of January 1, 1967, based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission.[1] A five-member Council is elected at-large on a partisan basis, with each member serving a four-year term of office on a staggered basis, with either two or three seats coming up for election in even years.[2] At a reorganization meeting held in January after each election, the council selects a mayor and a deputy mayor from among its members.
