WESTFIELD, NJ – Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announces that a new service for Union County voters will soon be available at the Westfield Annex of the Clerk’s Office.
“Beginning on Monday, October 3, eligible voters will be able to apply for a Vote By Mail ballot in person at the Westfield Annex, receive their ballot and cast the ballot at the same time,” Ms. Rajoppi said. “This is the first time this one-stop voting service will be available at my Westfield office as well as at the main office in Elizabeth.”
“The new service in Westfield makes voting more accessible, particularly with convenient Saturday office hours and evening hours during the week,” Ms. Rajoppi added. “With the Nov. 8 General Election just a few weeks away, my office is working to make the voting process as fast and convenient as we can for everyone who is registered to vote.”
The opportunity to Vote By Mail in Westfield is another service available at the County Clerk’s new facility, along with passport application and renewal services, registration of Trade Names, and the application and swearing in of Notaries Public.
