Political-Neutral Attire for Election Day

Check Your Outfit Before You Go!

To keep polling places neutral, New Jersey law (N.J.S.A. 19:34-15) prohibits campaign-related items within 100 feet of polling locations or ballot drop boxes. This includes clothing, hats, pins, or any item that promotes a candidate or party. Poll workers will ask you to step outside to remove such items before voting.

Why the Rule (Law)?

This policy ensures polling places are fair, safe, and nonpartisan. Poll workers, as community volunteers, are committed to maintaining a calm and neutral voting environment.

We Want You to Vote!

Please take a moment before you head out to check that you’re in “Election 2025 Style.” Thank you for your cooperation, and we look forward to seeing you at the polls!

3 WAYS TO VOTE

We will provide information as we receive it from the County.

WHAT IF MY ADDRESS HAS CHANGED OR I NEED MY BALLOT MAILED ELSEWHERE?

If you address has recently changed, or you will not be home (ex. overseas active duty military and their families, college students, et cetera), contact the Superintendent of Elections for special instructions. The USPS is not permitted to autmatically forward ballots from your old address to your new address. It will be returned to the Office of the County Clerk. If you have any questions, please call the Superintendent of Elections for assistance.
Don't Wait! When you receive your vote-by-Mail Ballot, fill it out carefully and return it to the County as soon as possible. Return your ballot as soon as possible to have time to correct any unforeseen errors.

FILLING OUT YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT

Read and follow the instructions carefully. Missing a step may cause your ballot to be rejected.
You will receive a ballot and two envelopes. Your ballot has a bar code on it and that is a match to the Voter ID on record with the State. To correct any spelling mistakes, contact the Superintendent of Elections at 201-336-6100 and they’ll fix it in the system.
To fill out your ballot make sure you completely color in the oval circles for the candidates you choose using a pen or pencil. Do not make a check mark, “X” or any other kind of marks on the ovals other than filling them in for your selections. Be sure to check the left side of the ballot to determine how many candidates you can select. For example, this year there are two seats on the ballot for Freeholder and for that position you can choose two from any of the candidates running or even write in a name. Be sure to look at every position on the ballot from President down to your Local Board of Education.
When you are done filling out your ballot, refold it and place it in the internal envelope that has a Certificate of Mail-In-Voter flap attached. DO NOT DETACH THE CERTIFICATE FROM THE ENVELOPE. You will need to completely fill out AND SIGN the certificate.
If someone assists you, they need to fill out and sign their section of the certificate
Once the certificate is completed and signed, seal the internal envelope keeping the certificate intact and place it into the second envelope that is addressed to the Bergen County Board of Elections. This envelope has prepaid postage so you do not need a stamp.
SEAL the second external envelope and add your return address in the top left-hand corner.
If someone else will be mailing or delivering your ballot for you that person must complete and sign the bearer portion of the external envelope. Be aware that by law a person can only deliver (3) three ballots in addition to their own. Any more and the ballots may not be counted.

CASTING YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT

Return it to the County. Again, Do NOT Wait Until the Last Minute! You have several options:

Place your sealed ballot in an Official Bergen County Election Ballot Drop Box. This is the most efficient way to return your Vote-By-Mail ballot. Drop it in one of the secure drop boxes located throughout Bergen County. Check with the County Clerk's office for locations. A box is also located at the Bergen County Administration Building located at 1 Bergen County Plaza in Hackensack. These boxes are under 24/7 surveillance. Click here for a complete list of locations: www.bergencountyvotes.com. Do NOT place a ballot in any other type of drop box (ex. FedEx, UPS or municipal tax collection drop boxes) as it won't be counted! The ballot must be in the box before 8 PM on Election Night.

TRACK YOUR VOTE-BY-MAIL BALLOT

Click Here to Setup an Account & Track Your Ballot

If you don't already have an account, you'll need to set one up. It's easy and takes less than two minutes. Not only can you see if you're already registered, you can see where you are registered, your voter history, and most importantly, if your ballot for the November election has been received. Or, you can call your County Election Officials to track your Mail-In Ballot.

Voting By Mail is just as safe as voting in person.

The Superintendent of Elections as well the Board of Elections put safeguards in place to guarantee the integrity of our elections. Both of these offices consist of members from both major political parties, and their focus is maintaining fair and well-monitored elections.
