Tuesday is Election Day, but your vote may count more than usual.
A recent Monmouth University poll estimates that about 38 percent of New Jersey's registered voters will participate in the election, the lowest ever for a New Jersey governor's race. Turnout was 40 percent in the last governor's race, when Christie was re-elected by a landslide in 2013.
The top contenders to succeed Christie are Democrat Phil Murphy, a former U.S. ambassador to Germany, and Kim Guadagno, the current lieutenant governor. There are also five other independent candidates running for governor.
The poll found that a majority of voters still don't have a clear idea of either candidate's political views

We need to get a head count in our tiny borough (4500 people total so fewer voters when you include kids and foreign nationals). So - after 5 PM I'll get my sticker but we can gage who needs help getting to the polls in this evening!
