Please exercise your civic duty and VOTE! This election is unique in that it is almost entirely Vote by Mail! Please be sure you received, filled out, and returned your Vote by Mail Ballot. Ballots can be returned to one of the following locations until 8pm this evening.
You can also return your ballot by USPS (make sure it is postmarked), or hand it in today at your polling location. Click here to find your polling location.
With the exception of persons with disabilities, voters who go to the polls today will NOT be permitted to vote on a voting machine, and will instead be given a Provisional Paper Ballot. A Provisional Paper Ballot is similar to voting on your VBM Ballot but requires that you wait in line to receive a ballot from a poll worker. An ADA-compliant voting machine will be available for persons with disabilities which prevent them from voting on a paper ballot. Such voter must certify on an affidavit that they cannot vote on a paper ballot due to their disability.
We URGE you to use your Vote By Mail Ballot, as Provisional Paper Ballots are counted last and must be checked against the VBM Ballots that have already been cast before they are accepted.

Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick pushed to increase transparency and balance in government at Thursday’s Assembly session by calling to move legislation requiring the legislature to review and approve executive orders issued during a state of emergency after 14 days.“Unfortunately, the present state of emergency continues without transparency or review by the state Assembly,” said Bramnick. “I do not question the motives of Governor Murphy, but I am very concerned that we do not have open hearings and discussions regarding reopening the state. This extended emergency needs to be reviewed in the people’s house. The media, Senate President Sweeney and my caucus continue to demand the data the governor is using to make decisions. Unfortunately the majority party voted the law down and the decision making process remains private and behind closed doors.”
