Middlesex County Board of Elections swears in commissioners; Sylvia Engle elected chair
Summary
At a reorganization meeting, the Middlesex County Board of Elections administered oaths to returning commissioners and unanimously elected Sylvia Engle chair and Mohammed Jallop secretary before moving to regular business.
The Middlesex County Board of Elections administered oaths of office to newly reappointed commissioners and then elected its officers at a reorganization meeting (date not specified).
The meeting opened with the swearing-in of commissioners. Multiple commissioners repeated the oath of office, after which nominations for board leadership were opened. "I would like to nominate Sylvia Engle," said Commissioner Beatrice Moskowitz, who moved Engle's nomination for chair. A second was recorded and the motion passed on a voice/roll-call vote.
The move followed remarks thanking staff for work on the recent presidential election and brief comments from returning commissioners about the board's nonpartisan duties. Commissioner Moskowitz nominated Mohammed Jallop for secretary/commissioner registration; that nomination also received a second and passed.
Elected commissioners introduced during the ceremony who stated their oaths included Mohammed Jallop, Donald Katz and Beatrice Moskowitz. The board then closed the reorganization portion and proceeded to the board's regular monthly meeting and agenda items.
No contested leadership races or formal objections were recorded during the nominations; commissioners voted in favor of the nominated officers by voice and roll call.
The board moved from the swearing-in and leadership votes directly into the regular meeting agenda, which included polling‑place petitions, early voting site recommendations and administrative reports.
