Remember to vote in the June 7 primary (Letter to the editor)
The League of Women Voters of the Montclair Area urges all registered voters to go to the polls on Tuesday, June 7, Primary Election Day, to exercise their right to vote in the primary election to select candidates for U.S. representative. This is an important election since all our U.S. Congress members are being elected. Early voting will be held June 3 through June 5.
Voters can go to www.state.nj.us/state/elections or VOTE411.org to check their registration status, find location and hours of their voting location as well as voting by mail and other election information.
Voting is your way of controlling our future including jobs, health, our security and our communities. Make sure you vote on June 7!
