Local government

On November 3, 1964, the citizens of Aberdeen Township voted to change the Township Committee form of government, in force since 1857, to the Council-Manager form, under the Optional Municipal Charter Law, also known as the Faulkner Act. In this Council-Manager form, all policy making power is concentrated in the council. The Mayor is a member of the Council and presides over its meetings. The Manager, appointed by the council and fully accountable to it, is the municipal chief executive and administrative official. Aberdeen Township is one of over forty municipalities in New Jersey with this form of government.

A seven-member Township Council, including Mayor, is elected at large for staggered, four-year terms of office in partisan elections held in November. As of 2007, the Mayor is David Sobel. The members of the Township Council are Deputy Mayor Wilhelmina Gumbs, Owen Drapkin, Nicholas Minutolo, Thomas Perry, Joseph Raymond and Vincent Vinci.

Day-to-day administration of the Township is managed by a full time manager. The current Township Manager is Stuart Brown.
