Voting Update
NJ Governor Christie Administration Announces E-Mail and Fax Voting Available to New Jerseyans Displaced by Hurricane Sandy
Already Available to Military and Overseas Voters, State Opens Electronic Voting System to Make Voting More Accessible to Citizens Displaced by Hurricane Sandy and First Responders Assisting in Recovery Efforts
Trenton, NJ
- The New Jersey Department of State issued a directive yesterday to
county elections officials to permit New Jersey registered voters
displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote electronically. This directive also
is intended to assist displaced first responders, whose tireless
recovery efforts away from home has made voting a challenge.
To vote electronically, displaced voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk. Once an application is approved, the clerk will electronically send a ballot to the voter by either fax or e-mail in accordance to the voter's preference. Voters must return their electronic ballot - by fax or email - no later than November 6, 2012, at 8 p.m.

Separate directives issued yesterday enable
displaced voters and first responders to vote by provisional ballot at a
polling place in a county other than the voter's county of
registration. The deadline for county clerks to receive mail-in ballots
has been extended to November 19, 2012, for any ballot postmarked on or
before November 5, 2012.
Mail-in ballots post marked later than November 5 will not be accepted.
County elections officials have also been directed to print a sufficient number of provisional and emergency ballots to accommodate voters.
Voters are encouraged to take advantage of extended office hours at county elections offices to cast their vote early and in-person. Registered voters can obtain and cast their ballot in-person at their county elections office up until 3 pm Tuesday. County election offices are to remain open, at a minimum, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm throughout the weekend, until November 5. Voters that have a mail-in ballot and choose to deliver their ballot to the county elections office in person must present their completed ballot to their county elections office no later than the close of polls on Tuesday.
Information is also available by calling 1-877-NJVOTER.
