The Burlington County Commissioners believe the long lines and waits during the 2024 General Election were unacceptable and that voters deserve clear answers about why this occurred and how it can be prevented during 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 with the goal of making improvements. A written report with findings and recommendations is expected to be made public by January 30, 2025.
Local citizens who wish to provide their input can do so by submitting written accounts of their experiences and concerns to the following email: [email protected] .
Information received will be used by officials conducting the review to develop findings and make recommendations.
The long lines and waits at the polls were intolerable and Burlington County is committed to taking any and all actions necessary to ensure that the situation is not repeated in future elections.
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.
