New Jersey poll hours for Election Day are typically 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time, with anyone in line at 8:00 p.m. still eligible to vote. This is the standard statewide rule used in recent elections, but actual hours can vary by county or polling site, and some municipalities may adjust due to special circumstances. If you’re voting today, it’s best to confirm your specific polling place hours and location through your county Board of Elections or the New Jersey Voter Information Portal, using your address to look up precise details. Key points to check:
- Polls open: 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. in most New Jersey jurisdictions.
- If in line at 8:00 p.m., you can still vote.
- Verify your polling location and any local nuances (some sites may have different closing times or special notices) via:
- Your county Board of Elections website
- New Jersey Voter Information Portal
- NJ Voter hotline or local election office
