Special election (continued from page 9) four districts vote in the same location in August because a low turnout is expected. She said while District 5 is tech- nically within the legally permitted radius from the fire- house, it is too big a district to accommodate together with the others during regular elections. District 5 is the largest of the borough’s five voting districts, and parking would be a problem, she said. The general election for Lautenberg’s unexpired term will be held on Oct. 16. District 5 voters will use their regu- lar polling site for that election, Hanna said.
