Don't Forget to Vote on May 12th

May 12th is voting day for the Jersey City municipal election. There's a big roster of candidates for mayor and city council. You have just a few more hours to do your research before you cast your vote. Polls open at 6:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM. Check out the sample ballot sent to you by the Jersey City Commissioner of Registration, it's a helpful guide to casting your vote tomorrow, describing the categories where you can vote and the choices you have in each category.

I am still new to Jersey City and I am embarrassed to confess that I didn't do enough homework to have a fully informed opinion about how to vote in this election. Check out the editorial from Saturday's Jersey Journal, our hometown newspaper which presents their endorsements for the election. I found it a useful discussion of some of the local issues. Read it and decide for yourself how you want to vote. Just make sure to vote. I'll see you at the polls.
