A typically quiet “off year” election was stirred Tuesday as unusual write-in campaigns dominated the news from Harvey Cedars and Barnegat Light town governments on Nov. 7.

In the Harvey Cedars Borough Commission race, two incumbents won re-election to four-year terms, while a write-in tally may have re-elected the longtime mayor. Deputy Mayor John Imperiale led the way with 192 votes, followed by Commissioner Paul Rice with 186. Both were first elected in 2019.
