Government
Local government
Farmingdale is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 565) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[34] The governing body is comprised of the Mayor and the Borough Council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A Mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The Borough Council is comprised of six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[3] The Borough form of government used by Farmingdale is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[35][36]
As of 2020, the mayor of Farmingdale is Republican James A. Daly, whose term of office ends December 31, 2023; Daly had been named as acting mayor following the March 2016 death of John P.

Linszky (R, 2021) and Dr. Don H. Steinfeld (R, 2020).[4][38][39][40][41][42]
The 2012 elections included the election of all six council seats in the wake of the resignation of all six council members during the previous year.[43]
