IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF DR. HUBERT H. BYRON, LOUIS E. MEDVED AND ARMANDO MARINO, CONTESTING THE ELECTION OF R. DAVID SPERLING TO THE OFFICE OF MAYOR, AND SAMUEL MARSHALL AND HELEN FARAGO TO THE OFFICES OF COUNCILMAN OF THE BOROUGH OF WRIGHTSTOWN PURSUANT TO N.J.S.A. 19-29-1 ET SEQ.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm substantially for the reasons set forth in the written opinion of Judge Haines reported at 165 N.J.Super. 468 (Law Div. 1978). Appellants’ contention that the Burlington County Board of Elections was without authority and jurisdiction to reject the absentee ballots in dispute is without merit. N.J.S.A. 19:57-24, 31, 33, 35.
