According to the Burlington County Clerk’s office, incumbents JoAnne Harmon and Sandy Student are running for re-election, along with four other candidates: Elaine Barbagiovanni, Linda Hughes, Jay Levenson and Philip Wessner.
Levenson previously served on the board until his term ended in 2013. Incumbent Dave Silver is not running for reelection.
The three open seats are for three-year terms.
