Services in this hub
- Cybersecurity Campaign Checklist -DHS (opens external site) Campaign staff can open the U.S. Department of Homeland Security / CISA checklist for locking down email, laptops, and volunteer access. It is a federal PDF, not a Clerk form; use it alongside your NJELEC reporting, not instead of it.
- Test service
- Petitions & Information for Candidates Use this page if you are running for office in Bergen County. It explains how to file a candidate petition in person at Room 130 (already notarized, no appointment), the 2026 deadlines and signature counts for local, school board, county, and independent races, and the NJ Election Law Enforcement Commission rules every candidate has to follow.
- Campaign Finance and Reporting – NJELEC (opens external site) Candidates and treasurers should click through to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission for contribution limits, reporting calendars, and filing logins. The Clerk does not take campaign-finance reports; NJELEC does.
- UNOFFICIAL 2026 General Election Candidate List (opens external site) See who has filed so far for the 2026 general election in a live Google spreadsheet the Clerk updates as petitions come in. The list is unofficial until certification; refresh it if you are checking a race after a filing deadline.
