Cinnaminson Republicans Are Giving Voters Free Rides To The Polls On Election Day

Cinnaminson, NJ -- The Cinnaminson Republican Club is offering residents free rides to the polls on Election Day, Nov. 8, 6 a.m.-8 p.m.

This year, the ballot includes important contests for President and Vice-President, U.S. House of Representatives, County Sheriff, County Surrogate, County Freeholder, Township Committee, and Board of Education as well as two statewide ballot questions.

"We offer door-to-door service with a smile all day long for any voter who'd like a ride," club president Sandy Iaquinto said. "It's a longstanding practice we're proud to continue this year. We've lined up volunteer drivers who will serve as your personal chauffeur. Some of the polling places can be a hike. Each year there are quite a few residents who don't have access to a car. Others may have difficulty because of age or disability. Whatever the reason we're happy to help fill the void.

"We strongly encourage all residents to cast their ballots. This service helps remove one of the obstacles."

Residents interested in using the service should call the "Free Rides to the Polls" hotline at 856-733-0830 or e-mail requests to CinnaGOP@gmail.com.Iaquinto recommends voters schedule their pick-up times in advance, but even last minute requests are honored.Should anyone realize they will be out of town on Nov. 8,
