Vote by Mail In New Jersey, voters can now vote by mail-in ballot in any election. Voters no longer need a reason to vote by mail.
A voter may vote by mail by completing the Application for Vote by Mail Ballot (see below), and mailing the application to their County Clerk up to 7 days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election.
The County Clerk cannot accept faxed copies of an Absentee Ballot Application since an original signature is required.
