Government

Local government

Effective January 1, 2005, the form of government in Little Falls was changed by a public referendum to the Mayor-Council form authorized by the Faulkner Act. Under the new government, the voters directly elect the mayor to a four-year term, and the five township council members to four-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with either three seats or two seats and the mayoral seat up for election in even years as part of the November general election. For most of its history, Little Falls had been governed under the Township form of government by a township committee consisting of five committee members elected by the voters. Under this system, a chairman (mayor) and deputy-chair (deputy mayor) were selected annually by the Township Committee members.

As of 2015, the Mayor of Little Falls is Republican Darlene Post, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2016. Members of the Township Council are Council President Louis Fontana (R, 2016), James Belford Damiano (D, 2018), William "Bill" Liess (D, 2018), Joseph Maceri (R, 2018) and Pam Porter (R, 2016).

Post won election to a full four-year term as mayor in the 2012 general election, along with all three of her Republican running mates for Township Council; Louis Fontana, Pamela Porter and Joseph Rento (who won the balance of an unexpired term of office).
