Absentee Ballot  Application:

In New Jersey, any voter can now vote by Absentee Ballot for any election.
You do not need a reason for an Absentee Ballot.

A voter may apply for an absentee ballot by completing an Absentee Ballot Application and mailing the application to their County Clerk by mail up to 7 days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election. The County Clerk cannot accept faxed copies of an Absentee Ballot Application since an original signature is required.

 

Political Party Affiliation Declaration Form

A registered voter wishing to declare or change their party affiliation must file a Political Party Affiliation Declaration Form 50 days before a primary election. You can print and complete the Political Party Affiliation Declaration Form and mail it to the Board of Elections. Because an original signature is required, a faxed copy or electronic transmission cannot be accepted.
 

Register to Vote
The State of New Jersey Department of Law & Public Safety has useful information about registering to vote and instructions on mailing the hard copy to the Board of Elections.

Pursuant to the federal “Help America Vote Act of 2002" (HAVA), if you registered to vote by mail in your county after January 1, 2003, and never voted in a federal election in the county, you were required to provide your county commissioner of registration with identification.

If you did not provide identification to the county commissioner of registration or if the identification information could not be verified (i.e., your driver’s license number or the last four digits of your social security number),
