VOTING UPDATE FOR UNION COUNTY

Dear Jerry,

This month the Union County Clerk's Office initiated a pilot program for a new Vote By Mail service at the county's Westfield Office.  I hope you will share this information with your constituents.

Union County voters can now apply for a Vote By Mail in person at the Westfield Annex, receive their ballot and cast it at the same time.  This pilot program makes voting more accessible, particularly with convenient evening and Saturday hours.  Prior to this program, ballots were available only in Elizabeth.

The Westfield Annex of the County Clerk's Office is located at 300 North Avenue East, Westfield, NJ 07090.  Office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays & Thursdays; 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: and 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

The main County Clerk Office, located at the Union County Courthouse, 2 Broad Street, Room 113, Elizabeth, NJ 07207, will continue to provide Vote By Mail services as usual.  The deadline for filing an application in person is Monday, November 7th before 3:00 p.m.

To obtain an application form, voters also may pick up the form at their municipal building; they can download the form at the Union County Clerk's website:  www.ucnj.org/government/county-clerk/vote-by-mail or they can contact the Union County Clerk at (908) 527-4996.  The Clerk's website also includes a video that explains how to fill out the Vote By Mail application form.

Thank you for making this information available to your constituents.

With all best wishes, I remain,

Sincerely,

Joanne Rajoppi
Union County Clerk
