WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT TIME YOU GO VOTE

VOTING EARLY THROUGH VOTE BY MAIL

The County Clerk’s Office will begin mailing out vote by mail ballots to voters on the permanent vote by mail list and to voters who recently requested to receive a vote by mail ballot 45 days before an election. The commencement of mailing of vote by mail ballots for the June 2026 Primary Elections will begin on April 18, 2026.

You can check whether or not you should be receiving a vote by mail ballot by looking up your voter profile on the NJ Division of Elections website.

Click on Mail-In Ballot History after you sign in (see image below).

You will see the information for the recent at the top of the next page if you are expected to receive a vote by mail ballot for the upcoming election (example below).

If you have not received your vote by mail ballot by May 1, 2026, fill out and send in a replacement ballot request form before June 1, 2026, to receive a replacement vote by mail ballot. Call the County Clerk’s Office (732-745-4202) if you have questions about receiving a vote by mail ballot.

Your vote by mail ballots must be returned by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day (June 2) to be counted. 

No postage is necessary to vote by mail, but the fastest way to ensure your vote by mail ballot is processed is to return it using a drop box in your town. Click on the button below to find the location of one of the 30+ drop boxes in Middlesex County.

DO NOT PLACE IT IN THE MAIL UNLESS YOU CAN GUARANTEE THAT THE POST OFFICE WILL POSTMARK IT ON OR BEFORE JUNE 2, 2026! Use the map below to get directions to a drop box closest to you.
