Today is Election Day: How are You Voting?

Tell Us: Are you going to vote for Farmingdale's budget? Which two candidates?

Farmingdale voters will decide Tuesday upon the school district's proposed 2013-2014 budget.

The $153,384,118 spending plan is well below the state's tax cap formula. The state's so-called "2 percent" tax cap actually varies by district and is derived by a complex state formula. Read the full story here.

Voters will also decide between three candidates for two positions on the Board of Education. Read about those candidates here:

The polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m.; voting is the Howitt Middle School.
