Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi reminds all voters who received a vote-by-mail ballot to complete and return it before the Election Day deadline.
“My office sent out more than 44,000 ballots, and to date, only 13,244, or approximately 33%, have been returned to the Board of Elections,” Clerk Joanne Rajoppi said. “I urge voters to open their ballots when they receive them, take a few minutes to fill them out and then return them either to the post office or deposit them in one of the many election drop boxes around the county. This way you are ensured that your vote will be counted on election day.”
Voters have three ways to return a completed ballot before Election Day on November 4. To vote by mail, ballots must be postmarked on or before November 4, and received by the Union County Board of Elections by November 10. Alternately, ballots can be retuned in one of Union County’s secure drop boxes by 8:00pm on November 4th. Voters can also deliver their ballot directly to the Union County Board of Elections Office from 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday through Friday, at 271 N Broad Street in Elizabeth.
Residents have until October 28th to apply for a vote-by-mail ballot. Applications can be found on https://unioncountyvotes.com/vote-by-mail-ballot-application.
