This year, New Jersey is electing members of the General Assembly, as well as a Senate race in District One. Three questions will also be included to facilitate classroom discussion on the importance of voting and how a democracy can best ensure that all citizens are able to exercise their voting rights. It is essential that our future citizens understand the importance of the state legislature and the impact they have on the functioning of our democracy and the quality of life in New Jersey.February, 2020 – NJ VOTE 100
