Flooded homes, long gas lines, power outages and toppled trees didn't prevent a crowd from gathering at the Monmouth County Board of Elections in Freehold on Saturday.
Voters lined up out the door of the Halls Mill Road facility to cast their election ballot. New Jersey allows voting in advance of Election Day on Tuesday. Following Hurricane Sandy, Gov. Chris Christie ordered county clerks' offices across the state to hold extended hours to allow citizens to take part in the early voting opportunity.

- Saturday, Nov. 3, 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
- Sunday, Nov. 4, 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
