Do you have a question about the questions on the ballot? While the sample ballot has some "interpretations", we thought they were almost as convoluted as the questions themselves. So if you're as confused as the rest of us, take a look at our very concise summaries. Online.

It isn't easy to figure out where your polling location is. Unfortunately, the city's online polling place locator is not working. However, if you are a registered voter you should receive a sample ballot this week that will list your polling location.You can also check Google's polling place locator, but we can't confirm how accurate it is for Jersey City.
