Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office On Duty On Election Day

FREEHOLD, NJ - Representatives from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office will be on hand to Election Day to handle any complaints about fraudulent or illegal voting or any instances of voter intimidation, Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni said.

Assistant prosecutors will be on duty from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day to respond to any emergencies encountered by law enforcement authorities, he said.

To report any issues of voter fraud or misconduct, call the Monmouth County Hot Line at 855-786-5878.

The State Office of the Attorney General will also be available at the county Board of Elections headquarters to provide representation on legal issues arising at the polling places throughout Monmouth County. Such issues include whether an individual voter has been properly registered, or if an individual is eligible to cast votes for any election within their residential jurisdictions, Gramiccioni said.

Judges will also be available at the Monmouth County Courthouse, 71 Monument Park, Freehold, N.J. 07728, to rule on whether a voter who has been challenged at the local polling place may be allowed to vote. The judge, if persuaded by the voter, may order a provisional ballot or absentee ballot be issued to the applicant voter, Gramiccioni said.
