Union County, NJ –Union County Board of Elections Administrator Nicole DiRado reminds Union County voters that a new Early Voting option is available for anyone who wishes to cast their General Election ballot in person, on a voting machine prior to Election Day.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 2. The Early Voting option began on Saturday, October 23 and will be in effect until Sunday, October 31.
“Early Voting is a historic first for New Jersey this year.

Early Voting helps to reduce the chance of a last minute rush or mishap on Election Day, helping to ensure that every eligible voter can make their voice heard,” said Ms. DiRado.
