VOTING:
If you are capable of voting as usual, I encourage you to do so. You can find out the location of your polling place by texting the word “WHERE” to 877-877 and following the reply prompts.
You can also vote by going to your County Clerk’s office today (MONDAY) between 8:30 am and 4 pm and on Election Day (TUESDAY) between 8:30 am and 3 pm. You can find the statewide list of county clerk offices and information here: http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html
Essex County Clerk’s Office: http://www.essexclerk.com/
Morris County Clerk’s Office: http://www.morriscountyclerk.org/
On Election Day, if you are displaced as a result of the hurricane, you will be able to go to ANY open polling location in the state of New Jersey and cast a Provisional Ballot.
If you’ve been displaced as a result of the Hurricane, and cannot reach a polling place, you can vote by email or by fax by requesting a mail in ballot. This is a process the state already uses for military personnel stationed overseas. To vote electronically, voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk on or before 5:00PM on November 6th. Once an application is approved, the clerk will electronically send a ballot to the voter by either fax or e-mail in accordance with the voter’s preference. Voters must return their electronic ballot – by fax or email – no later than November 6, 2012, at 8 p.m. Voters can download a mail-in ballot application at the following link:
http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html
If you feel that you’ve been denied access to vote, you may contact the New Jersey Democratic State Committee’s legal hotline at: (732) 640-2250
