Governance structure
Hamilton Township, one of the largest townships in New Jersey, falls under the Fourth Congressional District and New Jersey’s 14th state legislative district.
A mayor and a five-member township council make up the township’s government.
The mayor and council members are all elected representatives serving four-year terms of office.
The residents choose them over four years where the mayor and two township council members seek a new mandate and then the three other town council seats come up to vote two years later.
The council members then pick two of their colleagues as a president and vice president an annual reorganization meeting for a one-year term.
The elected representatives govern the township under the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law.
That is under the Mayor-Council Plan E system of New Jersey municipal government, as implemented on January 1, 1976, based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission.
