Union County Board of Elections Administrator Nicole DiRado advises Union County residents that five locations have been selected for those wishing to cast their vote early, in-person for the 10th Congressional District Special General Election. Any registered Union County voter can use any of these sites to vote in-person, by machine from Sunday, September 8, 2024 through Monday, September 16, 2024.
The 10th Congressional District includes Cranford, Garwood, Hillside, Kenilworth, parts of Linden including Ward 1, Ward 3 (Districts 1 & 4), Ward 4, Ward 5, Ward 8, Ward 9, Ward 10, Roselle, Roselle Park and Union.
“New Jersey has expanded voters’ rights by introducing early voting in 2021,” said Ms. DiRado. “We encourage voters to use early voting, or a vote by mail ballot, to cast their vote ahead of Election Day. Making a plan to cast your vote is important and there are now more options in New Jersey than ever before.”
- Cranford: Union College, 1033 Springfield Avenue, Nomahegan Building, Room N4, Near the Guard Booth – Parking in Lot 1
- Kenilworth: Kenilworth Recreation Center, 565 Boulevard
- Roselle: Amalfe Community Center, 1268 Shaffer Avenue
Roselle Park: Cassano Community Center, 314 Chestnut Street - Union Township: Union Township Senior Center, 652 Rahway Avenue
All of these early voting locations will be open during the following hours:
- Monday through Saturday: 10am – 8pm
- Sunday: 10am – 6pm
Upon arriving at an early voting location, voters will sign in on an electronic poll book. The electronic poll book will print a bar code on the ballot card so the voting machine knows which ballot to activate. The ballot card will be inserted into the voting machine which begins the process for the voter.
Please note that these locations are for machine voting only. Mail-in ballots cannot be submitted at these locations.
Voters who plan to use a mail-in ballot can deposit it in any of the Board of Elections’ secure drop boxes in Union County, return it to the Board of Elections by U.S. Postal Service, or hand-deliver it to the Board of Elections office in Elizabeth by September 18, 2024 at 8pm.
Voters who choose to vote in person on Election Day, September 18, 2024, must use their designated polling place.
