New Jersey Early Voting Hours and Locations

If you are thinking of voting Tuesday but are afraid that you may not be able to make it to the polls due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy or for some reason, early voting in New Jersey has begun. If voters can make it out between now and Monday, to their respective county seats, they will be able to cast their vote earlier, before Tuesday.
