GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — While much of this year's election has been conducted primarily by vote-by-mail, a limited number of polling places will be open on Tuesday during the traditional 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. timeframe.

This means voters in Gloucester County have the chance to vote at a polling location, using a secure drop box, mailing your ballot back or hand delivering it to your local board of elections.
