Overview
The November 3rd General Election will be held overwhelmingly through vote-by-mail. Governor Phil Murphy has come out with a plan that protects public health and ensures all New Jerseyans can safely and securely cast their ballot. In July, these measures increased voter participation in the primary and led to the second highest state primary turnout in NJ history. It did not favor one political party or another; it favored democracy.
For the general election, Gov. Murphy has expanded on the vote-by-mail plan from the July primary to ensure that — regardless of the US Postal Service’s status in November — all NJ voters will be able to safely and securely cast their ballot. Gov. Murphy’s executive order has safeguards in place to make sure everyone’s voice is heard and that every voter has a secure way to return their ballot.
Getting a ballot
- All active registered NJ voters will automatically receive a pre-paid postage vote-by-mail ballot from their county clerks. All ballots will be sent to voters by October 5th.
- There will be no sample ballots. The ballot you receive is the ballot you fill out and return.
Returning a ballot
Voters will have safe options to cast their ballot:
- By Mail: Use pre-paid postage to return ballot via mail. Must be postmarked by November 3rd.
- With the Board of Elections: Take to the Board of Elections office anytime before Election Day.
- By Drop Box: Return ballot by secure ballot drop box
- With a Poll Worker: Hand to a poll worker at an in-person polling place on Election Day (11/3). There will be at least one polling place per municipality.
- Vote in-Person: As for a provisional ballot on Election Day
- All individuals with disabilities will have access to an ADA-compliant machine
All NJ public schools will close on Election Day for in-person voting.
These plans make it easier for voters to safely and securely vote regardless of ongoing issues with the US Postal Service. This means every New Jerseyan will be able to stay safe and make their voice heard this fall.

How can I make sure that my ballot is counted?
To ensure that your ballot is counted, follow these steps:
- Once you have filled out your ballot completely, place your ballot in the certificate envelope and seal it. Do not detach the certificate.
- Sign the certification where indicated.
- Put the certificate envelope in the outer envelope—the one with the return postage on it—and seal that.
