Top 5 Things To Know About In-Person Early Voting

Here are the answers to five common questions about in-person early voting for the General Election:

1. WHAT IS IN-PERSON EARLY VOTING?
This option enables all registered voters to cast their ballot in person, using a voting machine, during a
nine-day period prior to Election Day. You can choose to vote, in person, when it’s most convenient
for your schedule.

2. WHERE CAN I ACCESS IN-PERSON EARLY VOTING?
• No matter where you live in the county, you can vote your specific ballot at any of your county’s designated
in-person early voting locations.
• Find your county’s locations at VOTE.NJ.GOV.

3. WHEN CAN I ACCESS IN-PERSON EARLY VOTING?
• In-person early voting locations will be open Saturday, October 29 through Sunday, November 6.
• Hours will be Monday-Saturday, 10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. and Sunday, 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.

4. WHAT IF I ALWAYS VOTE BY MAIL, BUT NOW WANT TO VOTE EARLY, IN PERSON, INSTEAD?
• If you are registered to vote by mail in the 2022 General Election, you may cast your ballot during early,
in-person voting or on election day via a provisional ballot which will be provided to you at your early
voting location or polling place. Learn more about provisional ballots at VOTE.NJ.GOV.

Board of Elections on or before November 14.

November 8. Drop box locations can be found at VOTE.NJ.GOV.
3… Board of Elections Office: Deliver it in person to your county’s Board of Elections Office by 8:00 p.m.
on November 8. County Election Officials’ contact information can be found at VOTE.NJ.GOV.
• Or, vote in person at your polling place, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 8.
