Voters will go to the polls Tuesday to select the Republican and Democratic candidates who will run for state and county offices this fall.
Primary races include candidates for governor, two state Assembly seats representing the 14th District, two county freeholder seats and the county clerk.
The polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
This year voters can choose one candidate from within their party for governor. There are three Democratic candidates and seven Republican candidates.
Democratic candidates for governor include U.S. Sen. Jon Corzine of Hoboken, James D. Kelly of Chester and Francis Tenaglio of Haddon.
Republican candidates for governor include Bret Schundler of Jersey City, Todd Caliguire of Ridgewood, Assemblyman Paul DiGaetano of Nutley, Doug Forrester of Princeton Junction, Steven Lonegan of Bogota, John Murphy of Morristown and Robert Schroeder of Washington Township.
Both parties are running candidates for the state Assembly in the 14th District, which includes South Brunswick. There are two Assembly seats open in the district, and the candidates in the uncontested GOP and Democratic primaries will face each other in the general election in November.
Democratic state Assembly candidates are incumbent Linda Greenstein of Plainsboro and Daniel Benson of Hamilton. Republican candidates are incumbent Bill Baroni and former South Brunswick Police Chief Michael Paquette.
The Democratic candidate for clerk is incumbent Elaine Flynn of Old Bridge. Running for the Republicans is Joseph Sinagra of Helmetta.
Both parties are running candidates unopposed for the two freeholder seats up for grabs.
