The polling stations that had been without power -- DeHart Center, Prospect Presbyterian Church and Clinton School -- will be up and running.

The township has taken the generators that had been used for the temporary lighting at Memorial Park and put them at Clinton School, which remains without power.

DeLuca cautioned voters to use care when walking to polling places, as there are still numerous trees and wires down throughout town.

The polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday. To read about (and see a video of) the recent Maplewood Township Committee candidate debate, and for links to candidate profiles, click here.
