Lacey operates in the Township Form of government, one of the oldest forms in New Jersey. Despite a decline in it's popularity, it is still the most often found form, with 150 townships serving 19.1% of the state's population. Laws governing the Township Form of government were last rewritten in 1989. Under the Township format, we have a 5 member Township Committee, where committee-people are elected in three year staggered terms. The Committee selects one of their own to be Mayor for a 1 year term.
