General Election

–

Amid the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Governor Murphy signed Executive Order No. 177 on August 14, 2020 to create a modified vote-by-mail (VBM) election for the November 3rd General Election. The County Clerk will send VBM ballots with pre-paid postage to all active registered voters.

Ballots can be returned to via a secure drop box, the United States Postal Service (USPS), to the County Board of Elections or an Orange polling location on Election Day.

A Vote-by-Mail Ballot Drop Box will be located at:

Deadlines
–  Tuesday, October 13th – to register to vote or change your address
–  Monday, November 2nd by 3:00 p.m.- to request an absent ballot
–  Tuesday, November 3rd by 8:00 p.m. – to deliver an in-person absentee ballot

Ballots returned through USPS with a postmark on or before November 3rd will be counted as a valid ballot by the County Clerk, if received by 8:00 p.m. on November 10th.

Ballots without a postmark that are received by the County Boards of Elections on or before November 5th by 8:00 p.m. shall be considered valid.
