Hackensack – The Bergen County Board of Chosen Freeholders have put together a video, which provides helpful voting information to Bergen County residents. This year - with few exceptions - Bergen County residents will be voting exclusively by mail. Working in conjunction with local election officials, the Freeholders compiled answers to the most frequently asked questions surrounding voting by mail. It is the goal of the Freeholders to increase turnout for the November election. It is their belief that regardless of which candidates residents choose, our Democracy is best served when we have an active and engaged electorate.

The video is available for cross-posting and embedding from the URL below.

The Borough of Dumont must unfortunately announce the postponement of our fall sports programs. The Dumont Recreation Commission recently voted not to move forward with fall sports based on the current state guidelines and restrictions on youth sports believing it will be impossible to fully incorporate these regulations. After this vote, The Borough of Dumont in coordination with our legal counsel and risk manager, citing borough liability and reports of COVID-19 outbreaks throughout youth sports leagues, determined that it is not possible to manage a safe sports program this fall. We understand many will be disappointed but please know our top priority during the COVID-19 public health crisis has been the safety and well-being of our community. Please continue to follow us for updates as we remain committed to providing recreational programs where possible for the benefit of our Dumont family.
