Now You Can Vote By Mail!

In New Jersey, any voter can now vote by mail in any election. You do not need a reason to Vote by Mail. Don’t feel like going to the polls? Simply vote by mail. Now there is “no excuse” not to vote!

A voter may vote by mail by completing the Application for Vote by Mail Ballot, and returning the application to their County Clerk (County Clerk addresses attached to form). To receive your ballot by mail, the application must be received by the County Clerk 7 days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election.

The County Clerk cannot accept faxed or emailed copies of a Application for Vote by Mail Ballot, unless you are a Military or Overseas Voter, since an original signature is required.

If you or someone you know is not registered to vote see below for how to get registered.

If someone does not have a voter registration form immediately available they can go to the New Jersey Division of Elections website  (www.njelections.org).  Once they are at the website they should then click on the “NJ Voter Information Portal” and then, once there, click on “Register to Vote!”.  Once there they can either register online by clicking on “On Line Voter Registration” or print out a paper voter registration form and then complete it and mail it to their county board of elections.  If they choose to print out a form, they will need to select their county and the form they print out will include the address of their county board of elections.
 
Applying for a Vote-by- Mail ballot for One Election or to be Put on the Permanent Vote-By- Mail List:
 
If someone does not have a vote-by mail ballot application, they can go to the New Jersey Division of Elections website  (www.njelections.org).  Once they are at the website they should then click on the “NJ Voter Information Portal” and then, once there, click on “Vote By Mail”. Once there, then click on “Application for Vote By Mail” and print out, complete, and sign the application for their county (Middlesex County) and then mail it to their county clerk (Middlesex County Clerk), If they printed out the application for the proper county, the reverse side of the application is already pre-addressed to the proper county clerk.  If it is too late to mail the application to their county clerk, (the mailed application must be received by the county clerk no less than 7 days before the election), they can apply in person, (or by authorized messenger), at their county clerk’s office up to 3:00 pm the day before Election Day).

If you or someone you know is on the permanent vote by mail list and would like to be removed see below for how to do that.

1.  Go to their county clerk’s website, find that county’s version of the “Get Me Off the Permanent Vote-By- Mail List Letter” then complete the letter, sign it, and send it directly to the county clerk.  The completed letter can be faxed, e-mailed, mailed, or brought in, in person, and can be returned in any of these ways, by the voter or by anyone else on behalf of the voter.  (The form is not required to be used, but it is easier than the person doing their own letter and not including everything and risking it being rejected.)
 
In Middlesex County, go to the Middlesex County Clerk’s website, (middlesexcountynj.gov, then under the “Government” tab click on “Departments” then click on “Office Directory A-Z” and then click on “County Clerk”.)  Once you are finally there, click on “Election Services”.  Once there, under the “Vote By Mail” section, find the form called “Remove Name from Mail-In-Ballot List”  which is under the “Additional Resources” section near the bottom of the section.
 
2. Alternatively, on Election Day, go into your proper polling place and ask the poll clerks to give you a “Correction of Records” form.  (They are mostly used for change of address, death notifications, etc.)  The Middlesex County form – which is with the election supplies in every election district in Middlesex County – has a section where you can check off that they want to be removed from the permanent Vote-By- Mail list and then they sign it and the form is returned to the Board of Elections office and forwarded to the County Clerk’s office for processing.  While in the polling place that day, the voter will still have to vote by Provisional Ballot.
