Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announces that the ballot position drawing for the June 6, 2023 Primary Election will be both in-person and livestreamed on Facebook. The drawing will be held on Thursday, April 6 at 3:00 p.m. in Courtroom 401 in the Union County Courthouse, located at 2 Broad Street in Elizabeth.
A link for the livestream will be posted prior to the drawing on the County Clerk’s elections website, unioncountyvotes.com.
“The ballot drawing will take place in person as provided for by statute, and we also offer the opportunity to view the proceedings online for those who wish to follow along remotely,” said Ms. Rajoppi.
Ms. Rajoppi also reminds voters who wish to vote by mail that they must apply for a Vote-by-Mail ballot by Tuesday, May 30.
According to a recent state law, unaffiliated voters who wish to vote in the Primary Election by mail must declare their affiliation with either the Democratic or Republican Party by Wednesday, April 12. Party declaration forms are available for download at state.nj.us/state/elections/voter-party-affiliation-declaration.shtml. The completed and signed form must be returned to the Union County Board of Elections in Elizabeth. The new law does not apply to overseas voters.
Voters who wish to vote in person may do so on Election Day, June 6 at their regular polling place, or they may vote early from June 2 to June 4 at polling locations designated for early voting.
The early voting polling locations are posted on unioncountyvotes.com.
