Vote By Mail
Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon reminds residents they can vote by mail, which is an available option for all registered voters in Monmouth County, and that mail-in ballots for the November 7 General Election are now available.
“Voting by mail provides a convenient, private, and secure way to vote early,” said Hanlon. “Voters can vote by mail for any reason and can be assured that all properly cast mail-in ballots will be counted and included in the election totals.”
To vote by mail, voters must first complete a Vote by Mail Ballot Application which is available from the County Clerk’s Elections Website at MonmouthCountyVotes.com, on the County Clerk’s Monmouth County Votes Mobile App. It is also available at the County Clerk’s Elections Office or from the Municipal Clerk of your hometown.
Applications to Vote by Mail that are sent by U.S. Mail must be received by the County Clerk’s Office seven days before an election. For the Nov. 7 General Election, the date is Tuesday, October 31.
Voters may also apply in-person at the County Clerk’s Elections Office located at 300 Halls Mill Road in Freehold up until 3 p.m. the day before the election. When applying in person, voters can obtain and cast their mail-in ballots early.
Voters may return their ballots to the County Board of Elections for counting in-person at the Board of Elections Office at 300 Halls Mill Road, by mail, or via one of the County’s ballot drop box locations.
Simple instructions for completing and returning Vote by Mail ballots are included in the ballot package.
Vote by mail is one of three available options for voting in the 2023 General Election. The other two options are early in person voting at one of the County’s 10 designated locations from Oct. 28 to Nov. 5, and the traditional option of voting in person on November 7 Election Day at your assigned polling location.
Voters with additional questions regarding Voting by Mail should call the County Clerk’s Elections Office at 732-431-7790 or email to ClerkofElections@co.monmouth.nj.us.
