Good afternoon,
I received your OPRA request on March 24, 2026 for “June 2026 Primary petitions for all local candidates and county committee candidates." As such, the statutory deadline to respond to your request is April 2, 2026. This response is being provided to you on the first (1st) day of the custodian’s receipt of the said request.
The following records are being provided in their entirety and are responsive to your request:
1. Petitions filed for Council (2 PDFs)
2. Petitions filed for County Committee (18 PDFs)
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A1-1, there are specific exemptions under OPRA, including but not limited to, personal identifying information such as phone numbers and email addresses. These documents, have therefore, been modified to exclude any information that would violate these exemptions.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.b, there is no cost associated with this request as the documents are being transmitted to you electronically.
If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfulfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Borough of Bergenfield to deny access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their website at www.state.nj.us/grc . The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
