1Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

CLIFFORD, Justice.

By Order dated October 22, 1986, we permitted the name of plaintiff, Edward W. Fields, to be placed on the 1986 general election ballot as a Democratic party candidate for Borough Council in the Borough of Clayton. We issued the Order without opinion because of the need for expeditious resolution of this election dispute, inasmuch as the election was scheduled for November 4, 1986. Plaintiff’s name did in fact appear on the general election ballot, and we have since been informed that plaintiff was elected to office.
