As always, voting by mail is an option for New Jersey residents. If you voted this way in a recent election, you may receive a ballot in your mailbox without having to take any action.
If you show up to vote in person and are told that a ballot was mailed to you, ask for a provisional ballot to ensure your vote will be counted. Those ballots are typically counted after mailed ballots, as names are cross-checked to protect against fraud.

What citizens need to know about Vote By Mail
Some residents might still choose to cast a Vote By Mail ballot. This option offers the benefit of avoiding the risk of inclement weather, a suddenly hectic day at work, long lines at the polls, and other inconveniences by sending in your marked ballot.
You can ensure that you’ll receive a Vote By Mail ballot by submitting an application. Forms are below, and they must be RECEIVED by the county by April 13 in order for a ballot to be mailed to you for this bond referendum -- but more advance time is a good precaution. Be sure to closely follow all of the directions on that ballot. They are picky as a protection against voter fraud, and ballots that are not correctly prepared could be tossed out.
Vote By Mail ballots must be postmarked by the April 20 date of the election. When filling out the form, select "special election" for the type of ballot for which you are applying.
Mail-in ballots can be deposited in designated county drop boxes 24 hours a day. Ballots must be left in the drop boxes by 8 p.m. on Election Night to be counted.
