Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announces that a “One-Stop” service is available for Union County voters at the Westfield and Elizabeth offices of the County Clerk for the U.S. Senate Special Election to be held on Wednesday, October 16th.
“Beginning on Monday, September 9th, eligible voters are able to apply for a Vote-By-Mail ballot for the U.S. Senate Special Election in person, receive their ballot and cast the ballot at the same time,” Ms. Rajoppi said. “This one-stop voting service is available at my Westfield office as well as at the main office in Elizabeth.”
“The service in Westfield and Elizabeth makes voting more accessible, particularly at the Westfield office with its convenient Saturday office hours and evening hours during the week,” Ms. Rajoppi added. “With the important October 16th Special Election for a U.S. Senate seat approaching quickly, my office is working to make the voting process as fast and convenient as we can for everyone who is registered to vote.”
A mailed application for a Vote-By-Mail ballot for the Special Election must be received by Oct. 9th to be eligible. The deadline to apply in-person is Tuesday, Oct. 15th at 3:00 p.m.
