Special Senate Election Voter Registration Deadline is Tuesday

Residents who aren't already registered to vote and want to participate in the special senate elections have until the end of Tuesday to register.

After Sen. Frank Lautenberg died last month, Gov. Chris Christie set August 13 as the special primary election and October 16 as the special general election.

Democrats Cory Booker, Rush Holt, Sheila Y. Oliver and Frank Pallone Jr. and Republicans Alieta Eck and Steven M. Lonegan are all seeking the seat. State Attorney General Steven Chiesa, who was appointed to fill the seat temporarily, is not seeking to keep it.

Fair Lawn residents seeking to register should visit the municipal clerk's office in borough hall at 8-01 Fair Lawn Avenue. Municipal offices are open between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Saddle Brook residents seeking to register should visit the municipal clerk's office in town hall at 93 Market Street. Municipal offices are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday.
