The Voorhees Fire District Election will be held on Saturday, Feb. 21. Any Voorhees resident who is a registered voter will have an opportunity to cast a ballot. Two seats on the five-member Board of Fire Commissioners will be decided. Fire Commissioners are elected for three-year terms.
This year’s candidates are Thomas Hanney, Andy Schallenhammer, Barbara Silary and John Stahl.
The election will also give residents an opportunity to vote on the Fire District Budget. Last year, this budget comprised 4.81 percent of your tax bill.
