Recently, a new law (P.L. 2021, c.40) was signed permitting in-person early voting in New Jersey for primary and general elections only.

What is in-person Early Voting?

This new option enables all registered voters to cast their ballot in-person, using a voting machine, during a nine-day period prior to Election Day for the General Election and five-day period prior to the Presidential Primary Election at any of the early voting locations within Middlesex County. You can now choose to vote, in-person, when it’s most convenient for your schedule.

When can I access in-person Early Voting?

In-person early voting locations will be open Saturday, October 26 through Sunday, November 3, for the 2024 General Election. Hours will be Monday to Saturday, 10 am–8 pm and Sunday, 10 am–6 pm. No appointment is necessary.

What if I always vote-by-mail, but now want to vote early, in-person, instead?

Check whether or not you are an active vote-by-mail voter at Vote.NJ.Gov, under “Am I Registered?”

If your voter record indicates that you have active vote-by-mail status, you will need to request to be removed from the vote-by-mail list.

To do so, please fill out the below Vote by Mail Removal Request Form and mail or email to the Office of the County Clerk.

Vote By Mail Removal Request Form

If your voter record indicates that you have received a Vote by Mail ballot, you will be given a provisional ballot to complete at the Early Voting Center.

*Please note that Early Voting Centers are for in-person voting only. Vote by mail ballots cannot be submitted at Early Voting locations.

How do I vote early?

Upon arriving at an early voting location, voters will sign in on an electronic poll book. The electronic poll book will print a bar code on the voter activation card so the voting machine knows which ballot to activate.

Voters will then enter the polling booth and insert their ballot card into the voting machine. Next, voters will make their selection by touching the screen. Selections should then be reviewed in the summary screen before touching “Print Ballot” to review the printed card in the window to the right. Finally, touch “Cast Ballot” and the card is then tabulated and deposited into a secure card container.
