On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018, representatives from the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office will be available to respond to reports of individuals casting a fraudulent vote, or attempting to cast an illegal vote and to address any issues of voter intimidation from any source.

The State Office of the Attorney General will be on hand at the county Board of Elections headquarters to provide representation on legal issues arising at the polling places throughout Monmouth County, including but not limited to questions of whether an individual voter has been properly registered, or if an individual is eligible to cast votes for any election within their residential jurisdictions.

Judges are available at the Monmouth County Courthouse, 71 Monument Street, 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.
