How to find your polling place, congressional district and more.

Hey, registered voter: Did you know you can cast your ballot this weekend in Warren County?

County residents can vote in person at the county clerk's office, which will be open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The office is on the first floor of the county courthouse, 413 Second St. in Belvidere.

Otherwise, polls are open statewide 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Here are some links that could be useful before you vote.

Who's running?

Eight municipalities and both of the county's congressional districts have contested races. We list them here.

A full list of municipal candidates is available on the county's website here; and the full slate of school board candidates can be found here.

We also have profiles on the candidates for:

In addition, five municipalities have ballot questions: Alpha, Belvidere, Greenwich, Knowlton and Washington. You can read about them here. There are also two statewide ballot questions: One asks if the recently increased gas tax should be spent exclusively on transportation projects, the other if gambling should be allowed outside Atlantic City.

Where do I vote?

It's an important question. If you don't know, New Jersey's state department lets you look up your polling place online here.

You can also check your registration on the site here.

What's my congressional district?

There are two in Warren County. If you're not sure which one you're voting in, the U.S. House of Representatives website lets you check by entering your ZIP code here.

What if there's voter fraud?

It's a topic that's been discussed lately. U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman says his office will receive and respond to reports of election irregularities, voter intimidation or any other activities that would interfere with a citizen's right to vote on Election Day. His office's Election Day Hotline at 888-636-6596 will be active Monday through Wednesday, and will be staffed live on Election Day in English and in Spanish.

New Jersey voters may be asked to show identification at their polling place if they did not do so when registering with the county commissioner or if identification information cannot be verified.

Anything else?

More links, documents and other information -- including offices to contact -- are available at www.warrencountyvotes.com.
