Six candidates will vie for a chance to claim late Sen. Frank Lautenberg's seat this fall. Find out where to vote here.

Don't forget, there's an election Tuesday.

It's a primary, and it's for the special state election to determine who will fill the U.S. Senate seat occupied by the late Frank Lautenberg, who passed away in June at age 89.

Six candidates—four Democrats, two Republicans—will vie for a chance to claim it.

The four Democratic candidates are: Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who visited nearby Collingswood and Cherry Hill last month, and is the frontrunner in the election; U.S. Rep. Rush Holt; Sheila Oliver, speaker of the state General Assembly; and U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone.
