West Orange Voting Locations: Special Senate Election Booker, Lonegan

Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. for a special election to decide who will fill the U.S. Senate seat of Frank Lautenberg, who died on June 3.

The voting booths will open Wednesday for a special election for the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Sen. Frank Laugtenberg. 

Voters will choose between Democrat and Newark Mayor Corey Booker and Republican and former mayor of Bogota Steven Lonegan. 

Polls will be open between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. 

Lautenberg, the last remaining World War II veteran in the senate, died June 17 morning. He was 89. 

Soon after, Gov. Chris Christie called for a special primary election to be followed by an election Oct. 16. The current Senate term expires in January 2015.

Christie, much to the consternation of candidates and critics, decided to hold a special election instead of scheduling it during the November election. Primary and special elections could run the state an estimated $12 million apiece.

The polling locations are as follows:
