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. 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 at any point before 3:00 PM the day before an election you realize you lost or never received your vote by mail ballot, call the County Clerk’s Office (732-745-4202) or fill out and send in a replacement ballot request form to receive a replacement vote by mail ballot. Your vote by mail ballos must be returned by Election Day (November 5th) in order to be counted.

VOTING EARLY AND IN-PERSON BEFORE EDAY

New Jersey passed a law in 2021 (P.L. 2021, c.40) permitting in-person early voting in New Jersey for primary and general elections.

Middlesex County voters will be able to go to any of the ten (10) in-person early voting locations throughout Middlesex County to cast their vote using the same voting machine that is available on Election Day before any June or November election, regardless of where in Middlesex County you are registered to vote.
