Every vote will matter – make sure you’re registered!
On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, the Hopewell Valley Regional School District plans to ask community members to consider a bond proposal to provide the necessary upfront funding to make cost-saving improvements at all our schools.
Registered voters who live in Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Township and Pennington Borough can either vote in person or by mail.
CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION STATUS
An up-to-date registration is required to vote in this special school election. You must be registered by August 27, and your registration must indicate your current home address and name.
Check your voter registration status by visiting the state database.
If you need to register or update your registration, there are several options.
Online: complete a voter registration form.
By mail: print and mail a paper registration form (available in English and Spanish) to the Mercer County Superintendent of Elections/Commissioner of Registration, using the address on the form. You may also call the Superintendent’s office at (609) 989-6750 to request that a form be mailed to you.

Polls will be open Tuesday, September 17 for residents across Hopewell Borough, Hopewell Township and Pennington Borough.
Poll times will be added to this website after the Board of Education finalizes them.
Poll locations will be added to this website after Mercer County Clerk’s Office finalizes them.
What if I’m told I can’t vote?
If you are told at the polls that you cannot vote because you are not registered, your ballot was already mailed to you, or any other reason: Ask for a “provisional ballot.” A provisional ballot will be considered after election officials process all in-person and mailed ballots.
TO VOTE BY MAIL
If you have previously voted by mail in a New Jersey election and if your address is the same, you might have opted to continue receiving mail-in ballots. If that’s the case, Mercer County should send you a Vote By Mail ballot for the bond referendum automatically about a month before September 17.
If you have questions or require assistance, contact the Election Office at 609-989-6495 or 609-989-6494.
If you want to request a Vote By Mail ballot, download an application (available in English or Spanish) or visit the County Clerk's Office at 209 S. Broad St. Trenton to receive one in person.
The county must receive that application by September 5 to mail you a ballot, or by 3 p.m. on September 16 to give you a ballot in person.
Once you receive and fill out your Vote By Mail ballot, you have options to:
Mail it in with a postmark by Sept. 17
Deliver it in person to the County Clerk’s Office by 8 p.m. September 17
Mail-in ballots cannot be submitted at polling places.
