The Sussex County Board of Elections is looking for poll workers for the upcoming primary election on June sixth. Training begins in April. Please consider serving your community in this honorable role.

The Sussex County Democratic Committee on Sunday voted for Phil Murphy, largely thought to be the frontrunner in the Democratic race, as its candidate for governor.

The SCDC hosted a Candidates’ Workshop for people interested in running for local elected positions. We thank all those who attended, encouraged by us to serve their communities. If you missed the event, here are some notes.
