Elections 2016: Who's On The Ballot, Where Do I Vote In Moorestown?

Moorestown, NJ -- The big day is here.

Polls opened at 6 a.m. in the long-awaited elections, highlighted by the presidential election between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. Polls close at 8 p.m.

There are also two statewide ballot questions, one concerning whether or not revenue generated by the 23 cent gas tax increase should be dedicated for Transportation Trust Fund and the second on whether or not casinos should be built in North Jersey.

Don’t forget about those local races, though.

In Moorestown, residents will decide three council seats, and thus control of the five-member council.
Mayor Phil Garwood, Deputy Mayor Victoria Napolitano and candidate Mike Locatell represent the Republican slate.

Councilwoman Lisa Petriello and candidates Kati Angelini and Amy Leis are running as Democrats.
