A total of nine candidates are running in local elections—four for two seats on the Council, and five for four seats—three, three-year terms and one unexpired one-year term—on the BOE. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Fort Lee voters will go to the polls Tuesday, amid the continuing power outages, gas rationing and general sense of uncertainty Sandy left in its wake, with two Borough Council seats and three contested Board of Education seats at stake. Unlike in many Bergen County towns, where polling locations had to be moved or changed, all Fort Lee voters will vote where they normally do, although at least some of those polling places may have to be powered by generators.

But the BOE also announced that that two of the six candidates for three, three-year terms …

Republican Peter B. Campbell previously said he would likely “step aside” if he won Tuesday’s Primary election; Fort Lee voters overwhelming support Rep. Steve Rothman, who was upset by Rep. Bill Pascrell.
In the only contested municipal primary election race in Fort Lee Tuesday, Republican candidates for Borough Council Thomas Bennett and Peter B. Campbell, who were running together, easily defeated Rosanna Surace, who was running alone. Campbell received 468 votes, Bennett received 467 and Surace nabbed just 107 votes, even though Campbell said this week he would probably bow out in favor of another candidate if he won and endorse Surace if she won. “Whatever the case, I probably will be stepping aside for another candidate if I’m not eliminated in the primaries,” Campbell told Patch. “And if I am eliminated by Surace, then she would have the full weight of my endorsement.” If Campbell does bow out, the nomination does not automatically go…
