Random image: Echinacea

Put a note on the refrigerator, add it to your phone alerts, mark it on your computer calendar - the special primary election for United States Senator is Tuesday, Aug. 13. Or you can vote by mail while it's on your mind.

Four Democrats and two Republicans are vying for the unexpired term of the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg. The Democrats are U.S. Rep. Rush Holt (D-12), Newark Mayor Cory Booker; U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone (D-6) and Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver, (D-34). Republican candidates are Steve Lonegan and Alieta Eck.

Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. The primary winners will be on the ballot for the Oct. 16 election, which is on a Wednesday.
