Hopatcong, Sparta: Here Is Your 2020 Election Polling Location

Although the upcoming Nov. 3 election will be primarily vote-by-mail, there will still be polling locations open in each municipality.

NORTH JERSEY - The COVID-19 pandemic has switched the upcoming Nov. 3 election to primarily vote-by-mail and reduced the number of polling places in each town.

All registered voters will be receiving ballots that they can mail back, put in a secure drop box or deliver to their polling location. Those who come to a polling place without their ballot will only be allowed to vote using a provisional ballot.

Those requiring an ADA voting booth can vote at a polling place on election day, where they'll be given a headset and accessible device to allow them to cast your votes.

Hopatcong residents can vote at Hopatcong #2 Firehouse and Hopatcong #3 Firehouse and at the Hopatcong Middle School. Sparta residents can vote at Sparta Fire Headquarters or Alpine Middle School.
