Clerk's Office

Casting Your Vote

As November 3, 2020 approaches, the Middlesex Borough Clerk’s Department wants to keep all residents informed with the options each resident has to cast their vote in the 2020 General Election. As you should know by now, due to the pandemic, the General Election this fall will be primarily a Vote-by-Mail election. Here is some important information regarding the election.

1) You can drop the ballot in the secure drop box located at the Middlesex Municipal Building just outside the entrance to the Court Office. This area will be video monitored 24 hrs./day and the County Board of Elections will be picking up ballots daily. You can also take the ballot to another drop box location within the County (for locations, see the Vote-2020 page of the County website under “Secure Ballot Drop Box Locations”. Ballots can be dropped off up until 8pm on Election Day.

2) You can bring a completed ballot to your designated polling place on Election Day. Remember at the polling location, you can only drop off your ballot. You cannot drop ballots off for others. You can only vote individually, and you must sign in with the poll workers.

a. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4 are at the High School Gymnasium

b. Districts 5, 6, 7 are at the Hazelwood Gymnasium

c. Districts 8, 9, 10 are at the Mauger Gorman Gymnasium

3) You can vote in person at a polling place. This will be by a paper ballot that is no different than the one received in the mail. This will be considered a provisional ballot until the Board confirms that you have not already voted by mail. Any voting machine at these locations will only be used for those who have a disability.

4) You can bring your ballot to the Middlesex County Board of Elections at 11 Kennedy Blvd, East Brunswick, NJ up until the close of polls on Election Day.
