How can I vote by mail?

All active registered voters in New Jersey will automatically receive their ballots in the mail, at the address where the voter is registered.

A voter may vote by mail by completing the Application for Vote by Mail Ballot and returning the application to their County Clerk. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3 p.m., the day before the election.

Then it’s as easy as VOTE, SIGN, SEAL, RETURN. How you return it is up to you.

  1. Mail: It must be postmarked on or before 8 pm Election Day and be received by your county’s Board of Elections on or before 6 days after Election.
  2. Secure Ballot Drop Box: Place your ballot in one of your county’s secure ballot drop boxes by 8 pm on Election Day.
  3. Board of Elections Office: Deliver your ballot in person to your county’s Board of Elections Office by 8 pm on Election Day.

Voting in-person

You may choose to vote in person at your polling place, from 6 am to 8  pm on election day and you will be provided a provisional paper ballot. Accommodations will be made for people with disabilities to use an accessible voting device. Remember, you can return your vote-by-mail ballot at your polling place.

The sample ballot you received in the mail informs you of your polling location and gives you a chance to become familiar with the ballot. Your County Superintendent or Board of Elections can also provide you with information. Polls are busiest between 5 pm and 8 pm so try to vote early.
