Election Process & Challenge

While New Jersey's voting machines are reliable, recruitment of poll workers proves challenging.[#enrichment-6] Offering a $300 paycheck for working the entire primary day hasn't been enough to garner sufficient numbers.[#enrichment-6] If you're interested in becoming a poll worker, submit your application to your local Board of Elections.

Regarding voter turnouts, they often aren't tremendous for primary elections, even in key presidential years.[#enrichment-6] To have a stake in the November election, make sure you cast your vote during the primary.
