Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announces that vote-by-mail ballots for the June 2, 2026 Primary Election are now available at the Union County Clerk’s Elizabeth and Westfield offices during regular business hours.
“Vote-by-mail gives residents more flexibility and helps make participating in our democracy more accessible,” said Joanne Rajoppi. “Our goal is to ensure voting remains both convenient and secure.”
Sample ballots are also available on the Union County elections website, unioncountyvotes.com, as well as through the County’s free mobile app.
“Sample ballots offer a convenient way for voters to familiarize themselves with their ballot,” Rajoppi added. “I urge residents to exercise their right to preview and prepare for the upcoming election. Please visit our website or free mobile app to get informed, get ready, and let your voice be heard.”
Voters may download a vote-by-mail application before visiting a Clerk’s office and bring the completed form with them, or they may apply by mail.
Voters are also advised of a recent update from the United States Postal Service. Postmarks now reflect when mail is processed—not when it is dropped off—meaning ballots mailed close to Election Day could receive a later postmark. In New Jersey, vote-by-mail ballots must be postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted. Voters are encouraged to mail ballots early or use secure drop boxes to ensure timely receipt. If the postmark reflects a date after Election Day, the ballot will not be valid. For a list of secure ballot drop boxes, visit: https://ucnj.org/boe/ballot-drop-box-locations/.
