to Avoid lines on Election Day
Trenton, NJ - The New Jersey Division of Elections anticipates a record number of New Jerseyans will turn out to the polls, and offers a few suggestions to avoid long lines on November 4. The polls in New Jersey will be open from 6 am to 8 pm.
- When visiting your polling place, please be patient. Election officials will be working diligently to keep the lines moving as quickly as possible.
