Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi reminds voters who wish to use a Vote-by-Mail ballot that they can apply for one in person at the County Clerk’s offices in Westfield and Elizabeth. They can also fill out their ballot during the same visit and cast it in a secure drop-off box at the office, or take it with them to fill out later.
“We encourage voters to come to our offices and use our convenient ‘one-stop’ service, which enables voters to go through all the Vote-by-Mail steps in one visit,” said Ms. Rajoppi. “As a reminder, Vote-by-Mail ballots can also be returned by mail or deposited in any of the official, secure drop boxes in Union County, including one located at the entrance of our Westfield office.”
The County Clerk’s office in Westfield is located at the Colleen Frasier Building in the Union County Complex, at 300 North Avenue East. Regular office hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.; and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The County Clerk’s office in Elizabeth is located in the Union County Courthouse, at 2 Broad Street. Regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
