Today is the final day to register to vote in the upcoming Nov. 5 General Election.

All eligible U.S. citizens can register in person at the Burlington County Superintendent of Elections Office located at 301 Harper Drive in Moorestown. The office will remain open until 9 PM today to accommodate last-minute registrations.

Superintendent of Elections staff will also be at the County Corner Store location in the Moorestown Mall today from 11 AM to 8 PM for the same purpose.

Voters can also register online at nj.gov/state/elections/voter-registration.shtml and check their registration status online at voter.svrs.nj.gov/registration-check .

In addition to the Superintendent of Elections Office, the Burlington County Clerk’s Office plans to keep staff at the 301 Harper Drive building late tonight, so voters who register after-hours tonight can apply for a vote-by-mail ballot during the same trip. Vote-by-mail is a convenient and secure method to cast your ballot, so voters registering today should consider that option.

Burlington County voters with questions about election regulations and procedures can call Burlington County’s Elections hotline at 609-265-VOTE (8683) or the New Jersey Division of Elections hotline at 1-877-NJ-VOTER (1-877-658-6837). ... See MoreSee Less

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR:

Hello, Riverton Residents, Businesses, and Visitors:
Recently, to increase access to and availability of parking in and around our Business District, our Riverton Council made a few changes to parking regulations affecting our downtown. I am excited that there are more businesses here in Riverton than ever in my recent memory. The interest to modernize our parking ordinances to meet the needs of our business district and visitors, including our residents who wish to drive to our downtown area, had been shared at numerous council meetings. To address those concerns, a Parking Roundtable, including business owners, residents, council members, our Police Chief, and myself, was created to examine the current parking needs. Recommendations were made to our Council and, ultimately, our parking ordinance was modified during three months of council meetings where the proposed ordinance changes were discussed and voted on (ordinance #8-2024). Those current changes include:

• 90 Minute Parking from 8am to 10pm
a. Howard Street, from approximately Home Off Main to Juanita’s
b. Main Street Parking Lot
i. Expanded use of the “Purple Heart Recipient” spot to include all Veterans.
c. (Similar changes planned for along Main Street between Milanese Pizza to Riverton’s Main Street Parking Lot)

I am looking forward to the positive impacts of these changes for our town’s businesses, shoppers, visitors, and residents. If you have any feedback on these parking changes, please feel free to get in touch with me or come to our next Borough Council meeting to discuss your concerns with the Council. As with all matters concerning the Borough, we are always interested in your suggestions for making living and working here enjoyable and productive.

Sincerely,

Mayor Jim Quinn
