Election Day Today

VOTE


It's Election Day
Polls are open 6:00 AM - 8:00 PM.

Besides two City Council seats, County Freeholders and Sheriff, and the entire Legislature, there are FOUR public questions --

1. PROPERTY TAX REFORM

A constitutional amendment to dedicate 1% of the sales and use tax receipts to a property tax account, to be distributed annually to taxpayers as rebates.

2. STEM CELL RESEARCH

Approval would float $450 million in bonds to establish New Jersey as a stem cell research 'player'.

3. OPEN SPACE FUNDING

Approval would authorize $200 million in bonds for Green Acres ($109M), Farmland Preservation ($73M), Blue Acres ($12M) and Historic Preservation ($6M).

4. DENIAL OF THE RIGHT TO VOTE

Approval would remove the 'idiot or insane person' language and replace it with denial of the right to vote, on a case by case basis, to persons deemed by a court to lack the capacity to understand the act of voting.
