Can you get a provisional ballot?

Yes I filled one out and they’ll send it in. Unbelievable. They had no answers for me either as to why this was happening

No need to be so worked up then. Provisionals are manually reconciled - your vote will be counted unless you already voted by mail or have an invalid registration.

I'd argue that disappearing off the voting rolls for no reason is a good excuse to be worked up. Yes, they can do a provisional ballot but they deserve an explanation for what happened.

In NJ it is TREMENDOUSLY difficult to pull people off the rolls. Everyone should be confirming their registration yearly regardless just to be sure they weren't erroneously purged, but what VERY LIKELY happened here is that sample ballot with a new district on it went straight into the trash and he showed up at the wrong polling location.
