POLL HOURS

6 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST

WHAT’S ON THE BALLOT

Races for president, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and in some cases, for county and local seats, including school boards, as well as two state ballot questions.

POLLING PLACES

Some polling places have been moved because of devastation from the storm. The state dropped its earlier plan to use military trucks as makeshift polling places in some locations.

Voters can find their polling place at http://www.nj.gov/state/elections. Those with smartphones can get information about polling places by texting WHERE to number 877877.

DISPLACED VOTERS

Voters unable to get to the polls because they were displaced by the storm or are working on recovery efforts can vote by fax, email or via a provisional ballot from any polling place in the state.

Those who want to vote by email or fax must waive their right to a private ballot. They can apply for the ballots until 5 p.m. Tuesday and return them until poll-closing time at 8 p.m. For more information, voters can go to http://www.nj.gov/state/elections . They can also call (877) 658-6837.

State election officials said Monday night that, like military and overseas voters, the displaced voters using fax or email will also have to send in paper copies of their ballots. Officials had previously said they were not required to do so.

Displaced voters who choose to vote via provisional ballots can go to any polling place in the state. They will be given simple ballots allowing votes to be cast only for president, U.S. Senate and two referenda questions. They will not be able to cast ballots in U.S. House, county, municipal and school board elections.
