Smith, who currently serves as the city's acting police director, was endorsed last month by U.S. Rep. Albio Sires, D-West New York.
Besides Smith, also seeking Doria's seat were zoning commissioner Raymond Rokicki; former Mayor Richard Rutkowski; former Municipal Judge Patrick Conaghan; and Bayonne City Clerk Robert Sloan.
A major campaign issue for those vying for Doria's vacated seat was how to develop Bayonne's former Army base, known as the Military Ocean Terminal. It sits along more than 430 acres of Bayonne's waterfront, and boasts sweeping views of New York City.
