When Union City residents go to the polls on Tuesday, May 12th, or earlier should they choose early voting, to cast ballots for five Commissioners for the next four years, they will only find five names to choose from, as the incumbent Union City First elected officials are the sole persons to file nominating petitions.
Technically, in Union City’s Commission form of government, residents do not elect the Mayor. They elect five Commissioners, who then select the Mayor.
So, Mayor Brian Stack and Commissioners Wendy Grullon, Maryury Martinetti, Lucio Fernandez and Celin Valdivia have no opposition in their bids to remain in office.
The polls will be open on May 12th from 6 am until 8 pm.
