YOUR VOTE COUNTS
Local elections such as bond referendums offer voters a chance to have a significant impact. Sometimes, these elections are decided by just a few votes.
Registered voters can cast ballots in person or by mail for the Hopewell Valley Regional School District referendum, which will appear on the general election ballot.
Be prepared to vote on Nov. 4!

TRACK YOUR BALLOT
TRACK YOUR BALLOT
Voters can track their ballot using the state’s voter portal. Setting up an account is free, and while this is an optional step, it is the only way to reliably monitor the status of your ballot online.
WHAT IF I’M TOLD I CAN’T VOTE?
WHAT IF I’M TOLD I CAN’T VOTE?
If you are told at the polls that you cannot vote for any reason (not registered, a ballot was already mailed to you, etc.), ask for a “provisional ballot.”
A provisional ballot is a voter’s safety net. It will be counted if election officials can confirm its legitimacy after processing all in-person and mailed ballots.
Voters can call 1-877-NJVOTER (1-877-658-6837) after the election to check the status of provisional ballots.
