Government

Essex County's Board of Chosen Freeholders along with the County Executive, administer all county business. Nine members are elected to serve concurrent terms. Five of the freeholders represent districts; four are elected from the county at-large. The Freeholder President and Vice-President serve one-year terms. The County Executive is elected by a direct vote of the electorate. New Jersey is the only state in the nation where elected county officials are called "Freeholders," governing each county as part of its own Board of Chosen Freeholders. The number of freeholders is determined by referendum, and cannot exceed nine members.
