Understanding the Vote By Mail Process

Madison Republicans offer support for voters voting by mail in the 2020 General Election.
Madison Republicans offer support for voters voting by mail in the 2020 General Election.

Machine voting will NOT be available for this year's General Election, and your regular polling location will not be open. All registered voters in New Jersey will receive Vote By Mail ballots. Here in Madison, voters began receiving their ballots on September 25.

Please see our photos below to help you recognize your ballot when it arrives.  When you see this in your mail, DO NOT THROW IT AWAY!  This is not a sample ballot.  This is the real ballot that you will use to cast your vote in the 2020 General Election.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO VOTE BY MAIL

Do not throw anything away.  Keep all the contents of your Vote By Mail package together.
