Voters head to the polls Tuesday for a New Jersey primary election that's getting more attention than usual.
Democrats feel there is a realistic opportunity to pick up one or two Congressional seats currently occupied by Republicans, while Republicans are focused on remaining competitive in districts that they already control. Read more about the state races here.

Where and when do I vote?
Voters can find their polling place using this locator. Polls across the state are open Tuesday at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.
Can I vote if I am not registered in a political party?
New Jersey functions with a closed primary system, which means voters can only vote if they are registered with a party. If a voter remains unaffiliated until primary day, they can go to their polling place and vote -- but the party of the primary they vote in will become their affiliated party. This can be changed again before the general election in November.
