Update: The Turtleback zoo early voting site has now reopened, after being evacuated while the Sheriff’s Department investigated a potential bomb threat. The zoo itself remains closed.

This attempt to disrupt the election only emphasizes how important every vote is. We are voting for an America where politicians respect the will of the people. We are voting for an America where threats and intimidation have no place in public life. Do not let anyone scare you into giving up your right to vote. But do vote early. This year it may take multiple attempts to successfully cast your ballot.

Essex County voters can vote at any Essex County voting location on this list:
