Government
Local government
Demarest is governed under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government. The governing body consists of a Mayor and a Borough Council comprising six council members, 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 consists 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 Demarest, the most common system used in the state, 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.[40][41]
As of 2016, the Mayor of Demarest Borough is Republican Raymond J. Cywinski, whose term of office ends December 31, 2018.

Fox (D, 2018), Melinda Iannuzzi (D, 2016) and Gregg F. Paster (D, 2018).[4][42][43][44][45][46]
Joseph N. Connolly took office in December 2015, filling the vacant seat expiring in December 2017 left by the resignation of Steve Schleim.[47]
Gregg Paster was appointed in October 2013 to fill the vacant seat of Blake Chroman that was due to expire at the end of 2015. Paster served on an interim basis until a special ballot item in November 2014, when voters chose him to serve the balance of Chroman's term of office.[48]
