Okay NJ voters, I know a *LOT* of us are voting by mail this year!
If you intend to go in-person Nov. 3, have you made your #VotingPlan yet?
- Are you sure of your polling place? Some are changed this yr. You should have gotten this by mail.
- What& #39;s your plan to get there?

Know what to expect. Machines this year are *only* for voters who cannot complete a paper ballot for reasons of disability. (I don& #39;t know how the ADA process works honestly in NJ- if someone does, feel free to jump in!)
Otherwise you& #39;ll be voting on a PAPER PROVISIONAL BALLOT.

A lot of people don& #39;t like proviaional ballots. They don& #39;t "feel" real. They worry they won& #39;t be counted.
Bc NJ sent (or tried to) ballots to everyone they HAVE to do this. They cross check who submits a in person to make sure they didn& #39;t also mail one! It& #39;s to prevent fraud.

Filling out provisional is a LOT like if you had done one by mail just:
- with one less envelope!
- you hand it over right there, no worries about mail
- poll workers can assist with Qs about process or replace ballot if you mess it up.

"Wait, I won& #39;t get to do the machine? That& #39;s the fun! I& #39;ll just do the mail-in one"
You still have time. Four ways to get that back. Whichever option you choose, it needs to be out of your hands - *postmarked* or dropped off - by 8pm Nov. 3, or it turns into a pumpkin.

Let& #39;s talk how you& #39;ll GET to the polls! 40% of residents here in #JerseyCity don& #39;t have cars.
Check your polling place and GOOGLE MAP THAT. Are you walking? Scootering? Biking? Ride from a friend? Uber/Lyft? Bus?
Have a plan. Have a backup plan. Have a rain plan. #VotingPlan

#VotingPlan
If you& #39;re planning to vote in the evening hours, polls close 8pm.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME TO GET THERE. Uber/Lyft might have high demand. Buses might hit traffic.
You gotta be in line by 8pm to vote. Don& #39;t leave your house at 7:55 because Uber said 4 minute, PLEASE.
