Tips To Complete Your Vote By Mail Application
-
Complete in ink numbers (#) 1-9 on the form.
-
If you would like to VBM in ALL FUTURE ELECTIONS, check the first box in #1. If you want to try out VBM on a one-time basis for the next election, select “General (November).”
-
If you want to have your ballot sent to another address (like a second home or your college address), fill out #4.
-
Special note for college students: Your ballot can be mailed to your school address - but you need to remember to check your mail when it is supposed to arrive (5-6 weeks before election day). Text us at 973-559-3524 and we will send you a text reminder when to check your mailbox. ​
-
-
The email and phone number that you provide for #6 and #7 will be used by the Office of the County Clerk to contact you with any questions about your VBM application. This information will not be provided to political organizations.
-
Seal with tape and mail the application. No postage is necessary
​
That’s it! Generally, ballots are mailed out approximately 45 days before the election. Depending on when you apply, expect to receive your ballot 10-14 days after mailing your application. Should you have any questions, contact the Essex County Clerk’s office at essexclerk.com or 973-387-7311.
