You Need to Know About the 25th District: Morris Township is represented by 25th Legislative District. of Denville. , the senator's son, also Republican and also named Anthony Bucco, will seek to return to his seat, as will fellow incumbent Republican Michael Patrick Carroll. On the Democratic side, George Stafford and Gale Heiss Colucci are hoping for upsets.

The district, though recently reconfigured, is traditionally considered strong Republican territory.

You Need to Know Your Freeholder Candidates: left the incumbent as the GOP's candidate, the race for a Morris County Freeholder seat pits Republican Margaret Nordstrom of Long Valley against Truscha Quatrone of Montville. .

You Need to Know What Else is on the Ballot: All New Jersey residents will be asked in a nonbinding referendum if the state should allow betting on professional sports at Atlantic City casinos, and at the state's racetracks. "Non-binding" means voters are just giving their two cents—the measure doesn't have the force of law, though it could spur legislators to act. A change to a federal law would have to take place before such betting would be legal, too.

You Need to Know Where to Vote: Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. in several locations throughout the township. Where you vote depends on which district you live in. See the chart below:
