NJ-11 Election In Montclair: Early Voting Opens At Municipal Building

MONTCLAIR, NJ — Early voting has begun for Montclair residents who plan to cast a ballot in the special election to replace Gov. Mikie Sherrill in Congress.

Early in-person voting kicked off Tuesday, April 6 and will continue until Tuesday, April 14.

The Essex County Board of Elections has designated the Montclair Municipal Building at 205 Claremont Avenue as an official early voting site for this election. Early voting hours will take place between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

When Sherrill was elected governor, she was required to resign from her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. A special primary election was held in February to determine the Democratic and Republican nominees to fill her unexpired seat in New Jersey’s 11^th district. Mejia won the Democratic Party nod, and Hathaway earned the GOP endorsement.

Mejia and Hathaway will match up against independent candidate Alan Bond in a special general election for all the marbles on April 16.

The 11^th district encompasses several towns in Essex, Morris and Passaic counties, including Montclair. Learn more about voting in New Jersey here.
