Valid ID to permit you to cast your ballot may include, but are not limited to:

Any Current and Valid Photo ID:
Driver’s license
Student or job ID
Military or other government ID
Store membership ID
United States passport

OR

Bank statement
Car registration
Government check or document
Non-photo driver’s license

OR any other official document

If you show identification, you will vote in the voting machine.

If you do not show identification, you will vote by provisional ballot and have until the close of business on the second day after the election to provide identification to the applicable county election office. You will be given a hand-out at the polling place that will tell you which county election office to contact.

Confused by Questions on the Ballot?

Do you have a question about the questions on the ballot? While the sample ballot has some "interpretations", we thought they were almost as convoluted as the questions themselves. So if you're as confused as the rest of us, take a look at our very concise summaries. Online.

Where to Vote

It isn't easy to figure out where your polling location is. Unfortunately, the city's online polling place locator is not working. However, if you are a registered voter you should receive a sample ballot this week that will list your polling location.

You can also check Google's polling place locator, but we can't confirm how accurate it is for Jersey City.

Vote Next Tuesday, November 4th!
