Sacco’s Oct. 28 exit date means North Bergen voters won’t get a say on his seat until May 2027

October 9, 2026 · Jersey Intel Staff

North Bergen Mayor Nick Sacco says he’ll resign effective Oct. 28 and is backing Commissioner Hugo Cabrera for mayor and his son, Lincoln School Principal Nick Sacco Jr., for his commission seat. Under New Jersey’s Municipal Vacancy Law, that date lands 6 days before the Nov. 3 general election, too late for the ballot, so the four remaining commissioners pick the replacement and voters next weigh in on May 11, 2027.
