To the Editor:

On November 8, 2011, voters in the Borough and Township of Princeton approved a ballot measure to consolidate their two local governments into one Princeton.  Because of the municipal consolidation, and due to population shifts in census numbers, Princeton election districts and polling locations may have changed from those in which votes were previously cast. The Mercer County Board of Elections earlier this year approved these new polling locations.

As Mercer County Election officials, we want Princeton voters to be aware of these changes as we approach the Primary Election on Tuesday, June 5, 2012, and the General Election on Tuesday, November 6, 2012.

Princeton voters, you will find your newly assigned polling locations and election district information on your sample ballots —which will be sent to all registered voters in the coming weeks.  Please be mindful that your sample ballot will clearly indicate the district and location of the polls where you should vote.  You can also find your current polling location online by visiting the “Voter Information” section at www.njelections.org.

Should Princeton voters have any questions regarding the location of a current polling place, please contact the Mercer County Board of Elections directly at (609) 278-6522 or the Princeton Township Municipal Clerk’s Office.
