Just happened to me now in Ringwood!! Invalid something or other. I’m furious.

sign up to vote by mail, you vote early and then can track your vote online to see when it's received. Best thing I did, since the same old lady never could find my name and it would just piss me off till someone would look and show her.

You can also vote early in person up to 10 days before the election (though it's obviously too late for that now). I voted last week in the middle of the day, not a single person was there other than the election workers. Was in and out really quickly.

Yeah, multiple locations per county and you can vote at any of the ones for your county. They’re open all day too. It was super fast and easy.

Can you get a provisional ballot?

Yes I filled one out and they’ll send it in. Unbelievable. They had no answers for me either as to why this was happening

No need to be so worked up then. Provisionals are manually reconciled - your vote will be counted unless you already voted by mail or have an invalid registration.

I'd argue that disappearing off the voting rolls for no reason is a good excuse to be worked up. Yes, they can do a provisional ballot but they deserve an explanation for what happened.

In NJ it is TREMENDOUSLY difficult to pull people off the rolls. Everyone should be confirming their registration yearly regardless just to be sure they weren't erroneously purged, but what VERY LIKELY happened here is that sample ballot with a new district on it went straight into the trash and he showed up at the wrong polling location.
