First, you have to register to vote. A Voter Registration Application form for the State of New Jersey can be downloaded below (File Attachments). Forms are available in English and Spanish.
Once you have registered to vote, the Hudson County Clerk will send a sample ballot to your address prior to each election, whether General, Primary, Municipal, School Board, or Special. This sample ballot will list the date of the election, your polling place and hours, the candidates for office, and any public questions.
The State of New Jersey Attorney General provides a wealth of information at the Division of Elections and the Statewide Voter Registration System websites.
